Carnegie has launched Outdoor Biobased Xorel, giving the industry a new label to stand by: “plant-based.”
This outdoor performance textile contains a whopping 85% biobased PE content with yarn sourced from rapidly-renewable sugarcane. And for each ton of sugarcane used to produce it, 2.5 tons of carbon is captured and sequestered, making this a carbon-positive product. Fabrics can be knit, woven or crocheted and include the following pattern options:
Zion: Inspired by the sedimentary rocks found in Zion National Park, and applicable for upholstery, upholstery walls and panels.
Cover: Free of PVC, chlorine, plasticizers, heavy metals, ozone-depleting chemicals and contains no topical finishes. It’s also antibacterial and available for outdoor drapery, vertical partitions, privacy screens and space dividers.
Denali: Evokes the mountain peaks of Denali Mountain and can be used for upholstery, upholstery walls and panels.
Nest: Created using crochet techniques for a more handcrafted look, it’s suitable for outdoor drapery, vertical partitions, privacy screens and space dividers.
Acadia: Inspired by the various textures and landscapes in Acadia National Park, it can also be used for upholstery, upholstery walls and panels.
