Chilewich
Chilewich boasts 20 years of continuous innovation to maximize performance and minimize environmental impact.
Strengthened by triclosan-free antimicrobial protection, Chilewich products retain their beauty and functionality for many years, reducing energy-and cost-intensive replacement and the associated waste.
Free of Phthalates & Heavy Metals
All Chilewich yarns are made in the USA by extruding phthalate-free vinyl over a core of fiberglass or polyester. Yarns are also free of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.
Softened by Soybeans
Chilewich has replaced all phthalates with a plasticizer made from soybeans, not petroleum. Using this renewable, bio-based compound results in a 40 % reduction in greenhouse gases compared to other plasticizers.
Recycled & Renewable Content
Half of all Chilewich flooring uses BioFelt: a backing system made from water bottles and other post-consumer recycled materials, renewable compounds, and post-industrial materials.
Green Cleaning
Chilewich textiles can be washed with water and biodegradable detergents.
Environmentally Safe
Chilewich products have been tested and certified by the Green Label Plus™ and GreenGuard® programs for low VOC emissions, and they can be found in healthcare settings that include major hospitals.
