Chilewich is making a significant environmental development by replacing the petroleum-based plasticizers in our yarns with phthalate-free, renewable vegetable compounds. Plasticizers have traditionally been made from petroleum-based compounds that are used to make PVC yarns soft. No more. We call these innovative new yarns and the fabrics made from them TerraStrand. TERRASTRAND, THE PROPRIETARY NAME OF OUR YARN, IS 100% PHTHALATE-FREE. TERRASTRAND CONTAINS 25% RENEWABLE VEGETABLE CONTENT. TERRASTRAND WILL BE USED IN OVER 90% OF OUR WOVEN PRODUCTS BY 2015. EVERY 100 YARD ROLL OF TERRASTRAND FABRIC SAVES 4.5 GALLONS OF PETROLEUM AND AVOIDS RELEASING 86.5 POUNDS OF GREENHOUSE GASES INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE.
