About
Designtex.
Designtex is a design and manufacturing company based in New York City. Since our founding in 1962, our products have been designed to deliver utility and beauty. We believe in combining art with science and tradition with technology. Our products are in the collections of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and the Design Museum in London.
We pioneered sustainable product development. In 1995, we introduced the first Cradle to Cradle-certified textile collection to the contract industry and have kept sustainability at the center of our developments ever since.
We operate as a carbon-neutral company. Over the past decade, working with our partner, NativeEnergy, we have funded environmental remediation projects in the United States and Africa. We do things differently than the other companies that do what we do. We're unique. We create, not merely curate, and collaborate. We find some of the best artists, craftsmen, architects, designers and photographers, and make them our partners.
We’re Designtex. This is who we are.
Our
Process.
Carbon Footprint & Sustainable Operations.
Designtex is committed to operating as a sustainable company. With a business model to design and distribute materials, we recognize our environmental impacts come primarily from our facilities and transportation emissions. By supporting 12 carbon reduction projects since 2010, Designtex is keeping more than 20,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere.
Designtex evaluates carbon reduction projects for their environmental and social benefits. Past projects include the Indiana School District Wind Project, which developed new wind turbines to power schools while providing hands-on renewable energy curriculum to high school students. Other offset investments include Greensburg Wind Farm, an 11-turbine wind project to power a Kansas town after a devastating tornado; and Wewoka Biogas project in Oklahoma, which enabled gas generation from a Native American reservation’s landfill for local renewable power.
In addition to balancing our carbon footprint, Designtex is proud that its printing facility in Maine has been certified for nine years to the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership’s program for reduced environmental impacts. The SGP program was established to provide third-party verification of sustainability efforts in the printing industry.
Products & Transparency.
Designtex is dedicated to improving the material health and transparency of our products. Designtex is a member of the Technical Committee of Health Product Declaration (HPD), a tool for reporting product ingredient hazards in a standardized format. We believe that by providing transparent ingredient information, we enable customers to make better-informed choices. Designtex also actively educates and contributes to material sustainability and transparency through its involvement in other organizations, such as the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council, Association for Contract Textiles, and Circular Economy 100. We believe that partnering within the industry and the business community at large is the best way to advance material health and a transition to a circular economy.
