The inventor of the world's first ultra-microfiber, Toray is a global leader of cutting-edge fiber technologies and their applications. We are also an innovator in environmentally conscientious
technology and recycling, which has resulted in reduced energy consumption and a more ecologically sound manufacturing process.
Ultrasuede® Ambiance is made with 100% recycled ultra-microfiber purely reconstituted from such post-industrial material as scrap polyester film. While being virtually reinvented as a recycled product, the new Ambiance continues to deliver all the beauty and performance you've come to expect from Ultrasuede®. That's evident in the richness of its hand, the unsurpassed color palette, the superior durability, and its easy cleaning and maintenance.
Toray products deliver the same level of excellence through our commitment to environmental
responsibility. Inherently beautiful. Responsibly engineered. This is the next generation of
Ultrasuede®.
Recycling Process with Reduced Energy Consumption
Toray Recycling Strategy
Many recycling efforts in the market today consume large amounts of energy—Toray believes this to be a conflicting endeavor. Our strategy is to employ only those technologies that reduce energy consumption.
Based on Toray’s chemical recycling process that reduces both energy consumption and CO2 emission by as much as 80%, Ambiance continues to deliver all the beauty and performance you’ve come to expect from Ultrasuede®.
