La-Z-Boy’s Conserve Sustainable Fabrics
One of the standout initiatives comes from La-Z-Boy, a name synonymous with comfort and quality. They have taken a significant step forward with their line of Conserve Sustainable Fabrics. What makes these fabrics unique is their source material—recycled water bottles. Yes, those plastic bottles that often end up in landfills are transformed into soft, durable, and aesthetically pleasing upholstery for your furniture.
How It Works
The process of creating Conserve fabrics involves collecting and cleaning discarded plastic bottles. These bottles are then crushed into flakes, melted down, and spun into fiber, which is ultimately woven into the fabric. This innovative recycling process not only helps reduce waste but also saves energy and water compared to traditional fabric manufacturing methods.
Why Choose Conserve?
• Eco-Friendly: Each yard of Conserve fabric is made from at least 20 recycled plastic bottles, ensuring that you are making a responsible choice for the environment.• Durability and Comfort: Despite being made from recycled materials; Conserve fabrics do not compromise on comfort or durability. They are designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
• Variety of Styles: La-Z-Boy offers a wide range of styles and colors in their Conserve line, allowing you to customize your furniture to match your home décor seamlessly.
Revolution by Emerald Craft – A Zero Chemical, Low Carbon Footprint Fabric

The fibers used in Revolution fabrics are sourced from upcycled post-industrial fiber waste, which means no new petroleum is used in the production of this fabric. The process involves collecting, purifying, and transforming fiber waste into high-quality, eco-friendly upholstery.
Why Revolution Fabrics Stand Out
• No Chemical Treatments: Revolution fabrics are unique in that they require no chemical treatments, making them safer for both your home and the environment.• Easy to Clean: These fabrics are designed to be stain-resistant without the use of any PFC chemicals, allowing for easy maintenance and a longer lifespan.
