Sustainability is Now Expected
For a long time sustainability was a marketing term. In 2025 it has become the standard. Buyers from homeowners to procurement teams expect upholstery materials that reduce environmental impact and still deliver on quality.
At Peter Cook International we have seen demand grow for eco-certified fabrics, low-emission adhesives and recyclable packaging.
Fabrics That Make a Difference
The journey to greener upholstery begins with fabric. Recycled yarns, water-efficient production and OEKO-TEX certification are becoming the baseline.

Adhesives and Chemicals Under Review
It is not only fabric that matters. Adhesives and finishes are being assessed for their environmental impact. Manufacturers are looking for products that meet regulations and support leaner production.
Packaging Plays Its Part
Packaging is part of the sustainability story. Recyclable solutions and reduced single-use plastics are now required in many contracts. Upholstery suppliers that can provide this are better placed to win tenders.
Why Sustainability Delivers Value
Sustainability is no longer just a compliance issue. It opens doors in premium markets, hospitality and public sector projects where eco-credentials can decide contracts.
Working with Peter Cook gives upholsterers access to eco-friendly fabrics and materials without compromising on quality or delivery.
Final Word
Sustainability in upholstery is more than a buzzword. It is a business advantage. From FibreGuard fabrics to recyclable packaging Peter Cook supports manufacturers that want to work responsibly.
