ONE TREE PLANTED
Doux Better Initiative
OVER 4,000 TREES PLANTED
As part of our continued pledge to sustainability, Fil Doux Textiles has partnered with One Tree Planted and committed to plant 1000 trees for every 1000 yards of Otratex sold. A living tribute to not only the Brazilian Rain Forest, but a commitment to our clients by doing more to know that their choices can leave positive everlasting effects on our planet.

RECLAIMED DYE WATER
One of the biggest polluters in our industry is the dye water used to produce the colored yarns in every fabric. Fil Doux committed over 50 years ago to reclaim, cleanse and reuse this dye water on site at our facilities, and what we can’t use, is sent offsite to be cleansed again before being put back in the waterways. Reclaiming dye water has saved billions of gallons of pollutants from entering our precious water systems.
