Sustainability is one of Freudenberg’s key principles and thus reflected in all business activities. Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel’s House of Sustainability strives to minimize the company’s footprint by reducing the environmental impact of the company’s manufacturing processes to a minimum. 


At the same time, Freudenberg maximizes its handprint by developing products enabling customers to manufacture more efficiently and sustainably or to consume fewer valuable resources. This initiative is based on seven product pillars with more than 500 sustainable products, among them recycled general interlinings, recyclable, energy-saving or biodegradable materials, sustainable cotton, nature-based solutions and recycled thermal insulations and linings.

The comfortemp® range clearly represents Freudenberg’s contribution to a sustainable future, from the use of renewable fibers to products made from 100% recycled polyester. These advanced technology materials combine high comfort with perfect thermal insulation properties and provide customers with different weights, fibers, hand feels and insulation levels.

Being part of the House of Sustainability, Freudenberg’s Active Range stands for high-performance solutions for stretch active and outdoor active wear including interlinings, tapes, linings, bonding solutions and measuring tools. Most materials of this portfolio are made of at least 70% recycled materials and thus cater to customers’ sustainability goals.

The experts of Freudenberg look forward to inform visitors about leading-edge solutions that enable them to produce their own products sustainably according to highest standards.
