Thrive
As a fibre producer, it may sound cliché to say that sustainability is woven, knitted and tufted throughout the fabric of who “We Are“– but it is nonetheless true.
Environmental Stewards + Resource Smart
As we strive to achieve our eco-objectives, our methods and goals may change. Therefore sustainability is framed as a journey for us.
This journey is not just about manufacturers (like us), or the governments and regulations we abide by, not about the public and private sectors... but rather our planet, people and essentially about life.
This trek, like many landscapes, has evolved throughout the years, and through our sustainable products and processes, we continue searching out opportunities to make positive impacts.
Thrive Beyond
Thrive® began as a premium Nylon 6,6 fibre, won a 2016 Best of NeoCon award, and is dubbed “The most sustainable Nylon 6,6 fibre in the world.” As industry needs evolve, we press on. We are proud to say that the most sustainable nylon fibre (Thrive) has now grown to encompass a family of eco-friendly products. Thrive is now offered in an array of different chemistries, for a variety of industry segments.
What makes Thrive® special…
At Universal Fibers®, we understand that running an environmentally sustainable business isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. That’s why we seek opportunities to better what we find and use less to produce more. We believe this is best achieved through partnered collaborative relationships, and we invite you to EnLIST™ with us on our sustainability journey.
