Proud of our Legacy
Since inception as fabric suppliers in the UK back in 1986, we have constantly strived to put sustainability at the forefront of what we do.
At the time, this meant utilising revolutionary dry printing methods—a method that was unheard of until we trail blazed the way forward, ensuring no harmful chemicals or water was used.
Leading the way.
We have recently invested in solar panels at our head office in Lancashire and we are now running our manufacturing facility, warehousing and offices on 100% solar energy. Hybrid and EV vehicles are currently being rolled out across our entire fleet, and by 2025 we will have moved away completely from fossil fuels.
Our Solar Panels, generating 52,000 Watts of energy per month, Harnessing power from the sun.
Takeback Scheme
As part of our ongoing commitment to reduce our impact on the environment we are very proud to announce the launch of our “Takeback” scheme.
Conscious that all manufacturers should take some responsibility for not just the beginning of a products life but also for the end of the products life, we are offering to take back and recycle your polyester drapery waste. Used and unwanted fabrics normally destined for landfill. We will take it and repurpose it into mattress wadding!
Panaz have always pushed the boundaries and whilst many in our sector will be happy with just placing the responsibility of disposal on end users, we take a different approach.
Simply package your waste and send FAO “Panaz Take Back Scheme” at Panaz HQ, Bentley Wood Way, Burnley, BB11 5ST (scan the QR code for a ready to print label).
Far more cost effective than paying for waste disposal.

Panaz Sustainability Mission Statement
We are not only committed to sustainable ethics and standards of practice in our operations but also in the fabrics we design and produce. In 2018 we developed and introduced ecoTWILL™, the industry’s first 100% recycled base cloth, which is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. In addition our products are packaged in recycled and recyclable materials ensuring no waste going to landfill. Any offcuts or end of line fabrics are used either for sampling or sent to partner companies to use for up-cycling products for local charities — no fabric wasted!
Our sustainability pledge is to all of our customers, our suppliers, and our workforce and is focused not on a one-time change, but on continuous improvement across the board. It confirms our commitment to always seek new, improved solutions for our operation — from waste management to pollution and emissions. We also promise to comply with all environmental legislation and codes of practice, train our team on better sustainable practices, as well as constantly monitor our environmental performance.
We believe that this not only sets us apart from other global contract fabric suppliers, but on the global stage, as well as ensuring that Panaz fulfils and even succeeds our own inbuilt ethical standard.
