Ethos
Biobased. Verified. Designed to Perform.
Ethos is Designtex's first biobased polyurethane textile, designed to meet the demands of high-performance interiors. With a surface reminiscent of pebbled leather, a soft, pliable hand and an expansive palette of 32 colors, Ethos delivers all the high-performance attributes of coated upholstery, while taking the next step in sustainability. For Ethos, third-party ASTM D6866 testing verifies its biobased content, and Designtex provides the documentation that makes Ethos ready for reporting to any sustainability program.
Ethos is a coated upholstery with a woven postconsumer recycled polyester backing and a silicone topcoat. The coated layer (the face) is a polycarbonate-based polyurethane made with a biobased polymer derived from domestically sourced (non-food) corn. The total textile has an overall biobased content of 12%, which is third-party verified by ASTM D6866 testing.
