Renegade Is Saving the World One Yard at a Time
Need an environmentally-friendly substitute for PVC fabric? We’ve got you covered.
Most coated fabrics are made from PVC, which generates hundreds of millions of pounds of harmful plastic waste every year that can’t be recycled, negatively affecting people and the environment. Renegade’s coated fabrics bring you direct replacements for PVC fabrics while avoiding toxic plastics and addressing the plastic waste crisis. It’s a win for you and the planet.
The Renegade Difference
PVC restrictions are coming. As a leading technical fabric supplier, we offer an alternative to PVC fabric that is free of heavy metals, plasticizers, and phthalates. We are a fabric manufacturer that brings you a coated fabric with a much lower carbon footprint than PVC fabrics.
Fully Recyclable
Derived from polypropylene (PP), our fabrics can be recycled at the end of their useful life, reducing plastic waste one yard at a time.
Light Weight
Using lightweight fabric technology, our fabrics boast a weight reduction of 30-40% compared to PVC-coated and laminated fabrics, without compromising on strength. This reduces logistics costs, makes them easier to fabricate with, and easier for end users to use on the job.
Safer
Renegade’s products are free from lead, phthalates, dioxins, PFAS, VOCs and heavy metals, and are safe for people, plants, animals, and the environment.
Waterproof
Our lightweight fabrics are impervious to water, making them a versatile option for hundreds of applications from wedding tents to agricultural hoop houses.
More Sustainable Future
Fabrics produced with Renegade technology are easier to convert to bioplastics and carbon capture sourced plastics than PVC, providing an opportunity for nascent bioplastics to eventually serve the industrial fabrics industry.
