First ever trial of Recycled PVC on NZ truck side curtains

We are embarking on a unique 1-2 year trial of the Transport 9000 Eco fabric, making us one of the first three companies worldwide to test this innovative material.

We are embarking on a unique 1-2 year trial of the Transport 9000 Eco fabric, making us one of the first three companies worldwide to test this innovative material. As the first in New Zealand to adopt this, we're taking a significant step towards sustainability that will resonate with eco-conscious corporations.

Why is the Transport 9000 Eco Fabric So Special?

• Sustainability: Contains a minimum of 35% recycled content.
• Innovative Manufacturing: Base cloth made from 100% recycled PET bottles.
• Durability: Matches the standards of our widely-used 8556 PVC fabric.
• Environmental Impact: Estimated 14% reduction in carbon emissions compared to regular
8556 PVC.
• UV Resistance: Exterior coating is 100% new white PVC to maintain UV resistance.

Partnering with TR Group, we’re proud to take this massive step towards a greener future. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting trial.
