The Making

Revolution® is made by extracting sugars from plants grown annually. These sugars are converted into a revolutionary material, which is now being used to produce these ecologically advanced glare control fabrics.

 
 

The Difference

Revolution® meets the same performance standards as polyester fabrics. It is very stable and durable. Less fossil fuels are also used in the production of the raw materials and less greenhouse gases are produced in comparison with the traditional polymers used for synthetic fibres.

 
 

In Numbers

“Did you know that replacing 25,000 sqm of glare control fabric made from polyester with equivalent Revolution® sunscreen fabric is equal to the following":

Fossil fuel savings equivalent to:

  • burning 3,837 litres of petrol
  • monthly electricity consumption by 55 residents of Australia/New Zealand
  • lighting a 100 watt bulb for 15 years
  • 27 barrels of oil a year

co2 savings equivalent to:
