Bella-Dura™ is the leading environmentally-responsible fabric option in the marketplace;
in fact, it could be called the environmental champion of all synthetic fibers. It is the only fiber on the market that begins as a by-product of post-industrial waste and ends its life as a fully (100%) recyclable product. It requires substantially less energy to manufacture, and uses only a small amount of water during the process. Most importantly, it produces no harmful industrial waste.

Bella-Dura fabrics are MBDC Cradle-to-Cradle™ Certified, Silver certification, and are classified as “preferred products.” A limited but presently expanded color-line has achieved Gold certification through MBDC.

Bella-Dura’s engineered, proprietary yarn technology is made of a by-product from the petroleum refining process, thus reducing the need for virgin material in the production process. Bella-Dura salvages and reuses a by-product that would otherwise be incinerated, eliminating further contamination of the environment. The fabric is fully recyclable after its long and useful lifecycle with a breakthrough recycling program developed by Bella-Dura and American Fibers and Yarns.

With Bella-Dura’s recycling and reclamation program, at the end of its long and useful life, the product can be converted into other products such as automotive parts, truck liners, and plant containers.

Unlike many products in the marketplace today that are deemed ‘recycled,’ many are actually made with rejected virgin materials. Bella-Dura is a recycled product from beginning to end.
Utilizing post-industrial waste from an already existing manufacturing source, Bella-Dura is a product derived from waste that is converted to a useable product, over and over.
