COMMITTED TO A GREENER FUTURE
From our Phthalate-free production in Canada, where continuous sustainability initiatives have already underpinned our environmental promises, to our ambitious plans for greater & greener achievements, Morbern’s ethos is one of total commitment to the planet:
help protect and preserve our children’s tomorrows while meeting our clients’ needs today.
COATED IS GREEN
DID YOU KNOW?
MADE WITH CARE IN CANADA
Once one of the first manufacturers to completely eliminate heavy metals from our production, we are continuously introducing new green initiatives:
- Powered by renewable hydro-electricity
- Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) water-based formulations have now replaced most of our solvent formulations
- New closed-loop cooling circuits installed in 2016 reduced our water consumption by more than 75%
- Most of our waste is reused in our process. The rest is redirected out of landfill sites to other applications by a dedicated team
- ISO14001 compliant
THE FR-FREE REVOLUTION
From 2015, the design community increasingly started specifying materials without flame-retardant (FR) additives for Contract & Healthcare projects in North America. Morbern was one of the first manufacturers to introduce durable FR-free coated fabrics to meet this growing demand for greener living and eco-friendly solutions. As the FR-free revolution gained momentum around the world, Morbern expanded its FR-free product range and launched MorGreen™: a collection of coated fabrics without any chemical FR (Fire Resistant) additives, still achieving the European Fire Norm EN1021 (Part 1&2) and the much coveted OekoTex Label.
EVOHIDE™
Evohide™ is the latest addition to Morbern’s MorGreen™ collection:
The combination of these ISCC & RSB certified renewable ingredients makes for a 75% sustainable content vegan leather, suitable for all indoor and outdoor/marine upholstery applications.
The appearance and properties of Evohide™ can be tailored to meet customers’ expectations, from plain leather-look surfaces to textile-inspired grains (such as Mistral), always achieving an excellent haptic.
