This unique material has a 25% share of recycled raw materials in the coating mass. In addition, the material is made with 100% R-PES yarns.

In terms of sustainability, its benefit is its 100% PET composition, making FILFLEX easy to recycle. FILFLEX offers customers easier handling during sewing and the seat covering process. End users benefit from the high seating comfort.
