Sustainable & Recycled Textiles

Andriali Contract develops responsible textile solutions for cruise ships, hospitality interiors and refurbishment projects. Our approach brings together refined design, commercial performance and carefully considered material choices, including recycled-yarn options where they align with the project’s technical and aesthetic requirements.

Recycled Textiles for Cruise and Hospitality Interiors

Using recycled polyester can reduce reliance on virgin raw materials and give existing materials a new purpose. Andriali works with designers, specifiers and procurement professionals to explore recycled-yarn textile options for upholstery, drapery, sheers and other appropriate applications.

Material composition, performance and supporting documentation are reviewed according to the selected product and its intended use.

Supporting Ship Refurbishment and Material Reuse

Andriali’s sustainability program supports a more responsible approach to ship refurbishment. Giving suitable discarded textiles and materials a second life can help divert waste from oceans and landfills while supporting more circular project strategies.

Each opportunity is evaluated individually according to material condition, practical feasibility, performance requirements and the intended next use.

Holland America Line Fabric Circularity Project

Andriali Contract partnered with Holland America Line to transform retired ship textiles—including drapery and bed runners—into new yarn and functional products. Approximately 30,000 yards of textiles were repurposed for the first 4,000 tote bags, with additional material designated for future voyage bags.

This collaboration demonstrates how cruise refurbishment waste can become a documented, useful new resource rather than being sent to landfill.

Performance Without Compromising Design

Responsible textile selection must still meet the demands of commercial interiors. Color, texture, durability, maintenance, construction and applicable testing requirements are considered alongside recycled content.

Our goal is to help project teams identify solutions that balance environmental considerations with the visual and technical expectations of cruise and hospitality spaces.

Custom Sustainable Textile Development

Where an existing collection does not fully meet the design brief, Andriali can explore custom textile development using recycled yarns or other project-appropriate material strategies.

Depending on the project, development may include custom color, pattern, yarn and construction selection, sampling, performance review and production planning.

Documentation and Transparent Claims

Sustainability claims should be supported by the documentation relevant to the selected textile. Andriali reviews available material-composition information, testing documentation and project-specific requirements during specification.

This transparent approach helps designers and procurement teams understand what applies to each fabric rather than relying on broad assumptions.

Discuss Your Sustainability Goals

Share your intended application, design direction, performance requirements and sustainability priorities with our team. We can help identify suitable textile options, coordinate samples and explore responsible custom-development opportunities.

Yes. Recycled-yarn textile options can be considered for appropriate cruise and hospitality applications, subject to the design, performance and documentation requirements of the project.

Can recycled textiles be used in cruise interiors?

They may be suitable for selected cruise applications. The intended use, construction, performance requirements and applicable marine documentation must be reviewed for each fabric.

Can Andriali develop custom recycled fabrics?

Custom development may be possible depending on the design brief, quantities, yarn availability, construction and technical requirements.

Does Andriali provide documentation for sustainability claims?

Available composition information and supporting documentation are reviewed according to the selected textile and project requirements.
