Sustainability

Appian Textiles is committed to making our world a better place to live. From our focus on domestic production to reduce emissions and transportation costs to our utilization of recycled products in our Elements Collection, we look at every opportunity to preserve precious natural resources and minimize our impact on the environment.

  • Appian employs consistent recycling practices in its warehouse facilities including actively managing recyclable waste products and recycling scrap fabrics and fibers resulting from our in-house sampling programs.
  • Appian works with its customers to optimize logistics associated with shipping requirements, cutting down on "distance goods traveled" whenever possible. We also carefully coordinate the logistics related to finishing providers in order to reduce emissions and costs.
  • Appian is an exclusive provider of Nanotex products, environmentally friendly coatings that are recyclable and (in the case of Nanoblok) antimony free. Nanotex and Nanotex + Nanoblok are MBDC certified.
  • Elements, Appian's first recycled fabric collection, combines post-industrial and post-consumer recycled materials into a beautiful blend of patterns. The fabrics contained in the collection are MBDC Silver Cradle-to-Cradle certified.
  • Appian is continuing development of new products in organic constructions (cottons, wools, and linens) and will continue to seek innovative and environmentally conscious ways of conducting business.
