Regal Fabrics Responsibility & Sustainability

As a textile converter with a global supply chain, we understand the need to ensure responsible product sourcing and fair labor practices from all our vendors. We also take sustainability seriously to help minimize the environmental impact of our industry. Steve Kahan, President, Regal Fabrics

Regal is a proud member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, the leading sustainability resource center for the home furnishings industry. Regal Fabrics textiles do not and have never contained PFAS and we have fully switched to the C-Zero standard for fluorine-free stain-resistance performance finishing (PUREformance), available on all our products. 

Through our Textile Donation Initiative we provide would-be waste fabrics to local non-profit community groups, such as local Girl Scout troops and Lowell Makes, for upcycling projects.
