Sling Outdoor

At Studio Stirling we constantly strive for perfection in all that we do, throughout the design, manufacture and marketing of our unique products. We are deeply committed to treading as lightly as possible on the earth, and we expect the same from the suppliers of all our materials, which is why we search the world over to source the finest quality products available.

Here are some of the reasons why we are using Spradling® Silvertex:

• To ensure leaving the smallest possible footprint on the environment, SPRADLING® has taken many steps towards eco-friendly Coated Fabric production.
• The Spradling Production Facility in Costa Rica, has become a company with a Carbon Neutral Process, and support the commitment of Costa Rica in this important aspect of the care of our planet. The verification was conducted by The Earth University.
• CLEAN WATER RECOVERY: At both SPRADLING plants, residual wastewater is never spilled directly into public pipelines. Instead, it is directed into a holding system that analyses and treats pH and acidity levels. Solvents, used during the manufacturing process, are distilled through a filtering system that allows for re-use ensuring that nothing enters the water supply.
• RECYCLING & amp; REUTILISATION: Having facilities situated near the rainforest of Costa Rica and in Colombia, SPRADLING® monitors and conforms to applicable international environmental laws and has met them consistently in all production locations. At the Colombia facility, 85% of waste incurred is reused in the creation of new material.
• SUSTAINABILITY: The long product life cycle of Coated Fabric reduces the need for frequent replacement. When the time does come, however, there are opportunities for conversion into other useful commodities.
• IN APPLICATION: The recommended products for cleaning and maintaining the appearance of Coated Fabrics are 100% biodegradable. The useful life of Coated Fabrics is substantially longer than any other synthetic material. Their long service life limits the need for early replacement and therefore consumer disposal of worn material.
• REACH AND ROHS COMPLIANCE FOR EUROPE: Spradling monitors and follows closely the REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006, which is consistent with the company’s commitment to promote responsible production, handling and use of the supplied products. All our products sold in Europe meet the RoHS (Restrictions of Hazardous Substances) Directive 2002/95/EC that restrict the use of certain substances commonly used in electric and electronic equipment like Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE).
