The EVO range delivers on Berger Textiles commitment to a more circular business, offering a complete set of more sustainable textiles produced using GRS-certified* recycled yarn, without compromising on performance. The full range comprises the following products:

  • Lumina Evolution / Samba Evolution: for applications in backlit frames

  • Matisse Evolution: for artistic print applications
  • Aero Evolution / Wind Evolution: for high-performance flags

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a globally recognised voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content and chain of custody of recycled materials in a final product. The GRS includes a 50% minimum recycled content percentage and additional social and environmental requirements related to processing and chemical use.

Alessandro Lanfranconi, CEO of Berger Textiles, says: “Sustainability is interwoven through all aspects of Berger Textiles’ operations and we’re pleased to be at the point of formally sharing our strategy with visitors to FESPA Global Print Expo. Achieving a more circular business has long been our ambition and the launch of our extended EVO range delivers on that commitment, without compromising on the award-winning performance of our textiles.”

In addition to its Soft Signage range, Berger Textiles will also showcase its functional architectural Home & Fashion ranges at the show, all presented through its unique simple and visual periodic table catalogue, which clusters products according to their intended applications.
