LONDON, July 3, 2024 — Moss, a global leader in sustainable graphics and display solutions, is proud to announce the launch of SustainaTex Ocean fabric in the UK market.

This innovative new fabric is designed for the graphics, events, and retail display sectors and is made from SEAQUAL® MARINE PLASTIC and recycled polyester.

With 100% post-consumer waste recycled content, SustainaTex Ocean represents Moss's commitment to providing environmentally friendly options.

Minimizing Environmental Impact with Recycled Content

SustainaTex Ocean is composed of 62% SEAQUAL® YARN, a traceable material produced from upcycled marine plastic collected from oceans, beaches, rivers, and estuaries by the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE.

The remaining 38% is recycled polyester. This combination makes it one of the most sustainable graphics materials on the market.

Customers choosing SustainaTex Ocean benefit from:

High sustainability with materials and dye sublimation inks that are environmentally friendly.

PVC-free fittings and sustainable packaging.

End-of-life reprocessing, where used graphics can be returned for recycling, ensuring responsible disposal.

Our Commitment to Cleaner Oceans and Reduced Carbon Footprint

First introduced in the US, the expansion of SustainaTex Ocean into the UK further enhances Moss's global sustainability efforts.

By minimizing waste and reducing carbon footprints, both Moss and its clients contribute to a cleaner, greener planet.

"The introduction of SustainaTex Ocean in the UK underlines our unwavering dedication to sustainability," said Moss UK Managing Director Michael Green. "This fabric provides our clients with another high-quality, environmentally friendly option for their graphics and displays. We are place makers, and that means we also want to make our oceans a better place too. This partnership is the perfect way to help keep our oceans clean and minimize our clients' environmental impact."

Moss offers various environmentally friendly solutions, such as a rental banner scheme, a zero-to-landfill waste approach, and materials made from recycled plastics and bottles, all of which have been well-received by clients.
