With
sustainability rising up corporate agendas, Camtex Fabrics, the maker
of Cambrelle shoe linings, has introduced fabrics with increased
recycled content – as favoured by Timberland for its Earthkeeper range.
With its Earthkeeper shoes, boots and clothing, Timberland Cambrelle Lining is trying to
“reduce its impact on the planet and make better gear” – and so needed a
shoe lining that would fit with its goals.
“Timberland asked us to develop a fabric that had at least 50% recycled
content,” explained Camtex Fabrics Cambrelle shoe linings chief executive Kieran O'Hare, “so we
used a polyester product that comes from recycled polyester bottles.”
Camtex Cambrelle Fabrics is currently researching and creating innovative fabrics
that have increased recycled or sustainable content, coming from
certifiable sources, and can help its clients boost their environmental
credentials.
“Lots of companies are now trying to show the customer that they are not
consuming as much energy as they once did; they’re using materials from
sustainable sources or materials that are recycled – and this is
something we can help them with,” added Mr O'Hare.
