How to Recycle Sunbrella®, FIRESIST® Fabrics


At Trivantage®, we are continually seeking ways to partner with our customers on ways to save fabric waste from entering landfills. Our parent company Glen Raven holds itself to high standards of environmental consciousness, and Trivantage is proud to support this effort across our footprint.


For more than 50 years, Sunbrella has recycled acrylic manufacturing waste and delivered it to partners who repurpose the materials into industrial products, including felt, insulation, padding, and filtration. In addition, all packaging waste is recycled at Sunbrella manufacturing facilities. This is an ongoing journey for Glen Raven, and eco-friendly practices like these demonstrate our joint commitment to the environment.


To bolster these efforts, the Recycle My Sunbrella and Recycle My FIRESIST programs were created to allow domestic consumers to participate in the recycling process. These are unique take-back programs that offer a sustainable alternative to disposing fabric scraps, awning covers, boat covers, and upholstery fabric for Sunbrella and FIRESIST. The Recycle My Sunbrella program alone has collected nearly one million pounds of fabric that otherwise would have ended up in landfills.


For details on how to recycle your fabrics, including shipping instructions and guidelines for recycling, please visit trivantage.com. You also have the option to drop Sunbrella and FIRESIST fabrics at your nearest Trivantage fulfillment center, which will inspect the fabrics upon arrival.

We look forward to working with you on sustainability initiatives that address our collective environmental responsibilities. If you have any questions, please call your local sales representative or contact us at 1-800-786-1876.
