ULTRAFABRICS, a leading global provider of high-performance fabrics, proudly commemorates its 25th anniversary of excellence in the industry with the reintroduction of its Volar Bio collection, which now has a 66% mix of recycled, rapidly renewable and bio-based content.

Since its inception, Ultrafabrics has been at the forefront of innovation, delivering superior performance fabrics that redefine luxury, durability and sustainability. And now, in its 25th anniversary year, with a broad base of clients such as MillerKnoll, Jaguar Land Rover, Google Fitbit, Virgin Galactic and Gulfstream Aerospace to name a few, all markets turn to Ultrafabrics because of its commitment to the highest level of compliance and transparency for its ESG goals.

Initially launched in 2019 with 29% bio-based components, it is now a 66% mix of recycled, rapidly renewable, and bio-based content, and surpasses the company's sustainability goals by six years. Ultrafabrics is proud to claim that it is "the only coated fabric brand offering such innovation".

“We are six years ahead of our initial sustainability goals and 19 of our fabric lines now have content that is recycled, rapidly renewable, or both in the backcloth,” says Nicole Meier, Director of Branding at Ultrafabrics.

Volar Bio’s evolution in backcloth construction not only includes certified REPREVE® recycled polyester and ECOVERO™ viscose in the backcloth, but introduces Susterra® propanediol bio-based resin.

Susterra® 1,3 propanediol is a pure, petroleum-free, raw material made from regeneratively farmed U.S. dent corn. It is a key ingredient for producing bio-based resins for leather alternatives.

The natural-feeling surface of Volar Bio, crafted in Japan, means it can be used to upholster anything from residential furniture to commercial-based surfaces in offices, hospitality, retail or healthcare. All Ultrafabrics products can withstand serious, frequent cleaning to C.D.C standards and are sought-after solutions where hygiene is a priority. This fabric can also withstand bleach without losing its colour or altering its appearance and is suitable for use in “vegan” interiors.
