Leave No Trace

Leave No Trace

A new coating for natural textiles that is both biodegradable and waterproof! This coating is a creation for a new oilcloth (PVC coated cotton). Traditional oilcloth is a material that is an ecological disaster because it cannot be recycled or composted and it is toxic solid waste (because of the PVC). The textiles that I have created can be composted (and are in compliance with compostability standards EN 13432 and ASTM D-6400.04), recycled into fiber with no risk of toxic leaching, or cleanly incinerated.
