At Zwartz, we transform the best natural materials into high-quality, Eco-friendly fabrics.
Natural fabrics have long been valued for their unique blend of sustainability, comfort, and versatility. At Zwartz, we believe that choosing natural materials is a crucial step toward creating products that are not only high-quality but also kinder to the planet. These fabrics offer numerous advantages, making them ideal for a variety of applications and industries.
Natural fabrics break down more easily in the environment, reducing waste and contributing to a healthier planet.
Sourced from plants like flax, hemp, and trees, natural fabrics are derived from materials that can be grown and harvested repeatedly.
From home textiles to technical and industrial applications, natural fabrics are versatile enough to meet the needs of many different sectors.
At Zwartz, we use a carefully selected range of natural materials in our fibres, each offering unique properties that make them ideal for different applications. From hemp to Jute, linen, and TENCEL™, these materials combine the best of nature with our expertise in textile production. Here’s a closer look at each of the natural fibres we use:
Often referred to as the “golden fibre,” Jute is a versatile and Eco-friendly material. It is biodegradable and grows rapidly, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Key Properties: Strong, biodegradable, and naturally resistant to wear and tear.
Applications: Commonly used in home textiles, bio composites, decorative fabrics, industrial fabrics and packaging due to its strength and natural texture.
Linen, derived from the flax plant, is valued for its strength, durability, and open structure. It is highly resistant to wear, making it suitable for demanding applications.
Key Properties: Moisture-wicking, strong, durable, and naturally antibacterial.
Applications: Well-suited for technical textiles, home textiles, bio composites, upholstery, and industrial uses where resilience is essential.
Hemp is known for its exceptional strength and durability, making it a preferred choice for industrial and technical uses. As a fast-growing plant, hemp requires minimal water and no pesticides, making it one of the most sustainable fibres available.
Key Properties: Strong, durable and naturally resistant to pests.
Applications: Ideal for technical textiles, industrial uses, home textiles, and packaging where strength, durability, and longevity are crucial.
TENCEL™ is a sustainable fiber made from sustainably sourced wood pulp. Produced in a closed-loop process, TENCEL™ is known for its softness, making it a favourite in the textile industry for its environmental credentials.
Key Properties: Soft, lightweight, highly absorbent, and produced with low environmental impact.
Applications: Ideal for technical textiles, industrial applications, and home textiles where environmental responsibility is important.
Cotton is a widely used natural fibre known for its versatility and durability. At Zwartz, we focus on sourcing sustainably grown cotton to ensure minimal environmental impact while offering a reliable and renewable material.
Key Properties: Highly absorbent, strong, and durable, making it suitable for a wide range of technical applications.
Applications: Commonly used in home textiles, industrial wipes, filters, and packaging that require a soft yet durable material.
At Zwartz, we are committed to reducing waste through the use of recycled fibres. These materials give new life to post-consumer and post-industrial textile waste, helping to close the loop in the textile industry. By incorporating recycled fibres, we create sustainable, high-quality fabrics without compromising on performance.
Key Properties: Environmentally friendly, reduces textile waste, offers similar durability to virgin fibres, and contributes to a circular economy.
Applications: Ideal for technical textiles, industrial wipes, upholstery, and home textiles.

At Zwartz, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a core principle that guides everything we do. From the materials we source to our production processes, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact while delivering high-quality textile solutions.
At Zwartz, we believe that sustainability is a journey, and we are dedicated to continually improving our practices for the benefit of our clients, our community, and our planet.
We prioritize natural fibres such as hemp, Jute, linen, TENCEL™, and cotton, all of which are biodegradable and derived from renewable resources.
Our use of recycled fibres further helps reduce textile waste and supports a circular economy by giving new life to post-consumer and post-industrial materials.
By producing locally in Europe, we minimize transportation emissions and reduce our overall carbon footprint. Our adherence to high European environmental standards ensures that our products are manufactured responsibly.
Local production allows us to maintain strict quality control and deliver products more efficiently to our clients, while reducing the environmental impact of long-distance shipping.
Our production processes are designed to be as efficient and Eco-friendly as possible. This includes using vegetable oils during processing and employing closed-loop systems for fibres like TENCEL™, which recycle water and solvents.
We constantly explore new technologies and methods to reduce water usage, energy consumption, and waste in our facilities.
