Environment and sustainability

Fewer new textiles, better documented

The most sustainable textile is the one that never needs replacing. We extend the lifespan of interiors, and deliver documentation that stands up to Scope 3 and classification societies.

Customers we have assisted

Interiors are a climate line item

The building is not replaced every day. The textiles in it are — sometimes several times in its lifetime.

The maths behind it
A piece of furniture has most of its climate footprint behind it the day it is delivered.
Every replacement means new production, transport and disposal.
Using the furniture longer saves nearly the entire emission of producing a new one.

Up to 50% longer life — measurable in life-cycle accounts.

Product safety

Water-based where possible,
always documented

Three variants — WB (water-based), SB (solvent-based) and SB Delicate for delicate materials — all ready to use, chosen by material. The treatment wraps each fibre rather than filming the surface, and is renewed only where it is worn down. The cleaning product we use for deep cleaning carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

01

No PFAS

Fiber ProTector contains no per- or polyfluorinated substances (PFAS/PFC).

02

No known allergens

Once cured, there is no migration from treated fibre to skin or the indoor environment.

03

Full SDS and TDS

Safety data sheets and technical data sheets are available for every product and every treatment.

04

Compatible with industry standards

Approved procedures for hotel chains, the marine sector and public transport.

Reporting

A concrete contribution to Scope 3 and life cycle cost

Longer lifespan is not just an operational argument — it is a line in the sustainability accounts. Fewer procurement rounds mean reduced indirect emissions from textile production and transport. Fewer replacements mean less waste and lower life cycle cost.

Scope 3 relevant

Fewer purchased textiles mean lower indirect emissions. Fits straight into GHG Protocol and CSRD.

Lower life-cycle cost

The life cycle cost of textiles drops substantially when reupholstering moves from year 8 to year 15.

Less waste

Fewer discarded covers, carpets and furniture at refurbishment. Every kilo that never becomes waste counts.

Audit-ready

Documentation per ship, hotel and building — what was treated, when and with which product.

Certifications

Certified, not just declared

Environmental claims should be verifiable. Below are the certifications covering the company, the impregnation and the cleaning product — issued by independent third parties, and renewed through regular audits.

Eco-Lighthouse
Eco-Lighthouse Certified company — Norway's most widely used environmental certification. Covers the entire operation, not just the products, and is regularly audited by an independent party.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel Our cleaning product carries the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries. That means both what we clean with and what we protect with is independently environmentally assessed. Applies to the cleaning product, not the impregnation.
BREEAM Exemplary attested by Eurofins
BREEAM Exemplary attested by Eurofins Documented very low VOC emissions, qualifying for Exemplary Level in five countries. Covers both the water-based (WB) and the solvent-based (SB) formula.
PFAS-free No per- or polyfluorinated substances. Meets upcoming restrictions in EU regulation and is an award criterion in many public tenders.
EnviroSeal EGTS 1502
EnviroSeal EGTS 1502 Independent certification of the product's environmental and chemical safety.
Norwegian production since 1995
Norwegian production since 1995 Our own development and production in Norway. Shorter transport than imported alternatives, and a short path from deviation to correction.
Our approach

We deliver numbers, not promises

Sustainability quickly becomes mere communication if there are no numbers behind it. Our approach is to deliver the documentation the client needs — so auditors, procurement and sustainability teams can build their own claims on real data.

Step one

Map

We go through the textile inventory and estimate current lifespan and replacement frequency.

Step two

Treat

We impregnate or deep clean where it has the most effect. Everything is logged — product, batch, date and area.

Step three

Document

An annual report with treated area and estimated lifespan extension.

Circular in practice

And here is the service that does it

The most sustainable piece of furniture is the one no one had to buy again. UpCycle® is restoration cleaning for interiors taken out of use and judged “finished” because of soiling — but whose textile surface is still intact.

We bring it back instead of it being discarded. The service has been delivered on Queen Mary 2 and DFDS’ Seaways ships, among others, where the alternative would have been replacing the entire interior.
