Blending 76% bio-sourced polyurethane from corn-based feedstock with 24% silica makes the Bio Silica Hybrid textile inherently antimicrobial and stain resistant, as well as exceptionally soft. Image courtesy of Momentum Bio-Silica Hybrid features five nature-inspired patterns with a soft, durable hand, made with a PVC-free construction and composed of 76% bio-sourced polyurethane derived from rapidly renewable corn-based content that replaces fossil fuel-based ingredients, 24% silica, and 100% recycled polyester backing.
- Renew features a refined two-tone crosshatch pattern crafted from 50% bio-attributed materials derived from forestry waste and 100% recycled polyester backing, setting a new standard for eco-conscious coated textiles.
- Better by Nature debuts two biodegradable options, engineered to address end-of-life environmental impact while maintaining rigorous standards of aesthetic and functional integrity. Terrapebble and Terraleather offer luxurious alternatives to conventional faux leather, combining visual sophistication, innovation, performance, and impressive biodegradable attributes. Made with first-of-its-kind Hyphyn biodegradable vinyl and designed to perform, the two feature exceptional longevity and durability with the innovative ability to responsibly break down at end-of-life.
- The collection also includes Circon — touted as the industry’s first bio-sourced, carbon-neutral Type II vinyl wallcovering. Harnessing vinyl’s durability for high-traffic areas, Circon integrates bio-sourced, rapidly renewable resources into over 70% of its composition. Key components include 100% renewable wood-based feedstock sourced from sustainable forestry, an algae-like base material that sequesters carbon during its formation, and a proprietary bio-based cotton backing that is 100% renewable and actively sequesters carbon during its growth. For 2025, the collection expands with three new designs: a bold, large-scale geometric, a contemporary take on spalted wood grain, and a refined linen-inspired pattern.
Durability is a cornerstone of the collection, with each product engineered to meet stringent performance standards – ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 Wyzenbeek double rubs – ensuring long-lasting resilience in demanding, high-traffic environments. With bleach-cleanable capabilities, Better by Nature is ideal for spaces that require high performance with low upkeep, offering long-term cost efficiency for businesses with reduced environmental impact. Beyond durability, the collection offers a cohesive design solution that enables specifiers to seamlessly outfit entire spaces with high-quality, sustainable materials. Better by Nature reinforces the belief that sustainability, aesthetics, and performance can harmoniously coexist in commercial settings.
