(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mecho, a global leader in commercial shading solutions, announces a major sustainability milestone with the launch of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its motorized shade systems and the debut of EcoGlass Blackout- the industry's first Red-List Free and Cradle-to-Cradle certified blackout fabric.

EPDs detail the full environmental impact of a product-from raw material extraction and manufacturing to end-of-life disposal. With this new initiative, Mecho reinforces its commitment to transparency and sustainability, empowering architects, designers and building owners to make informed, eco-friendly decisions when selecting shading solutions.

In tandem with the EPD rollout, Mecho introduces EcoGlass Blackout, a groundbreaking addition to its sustainable shade cloth portfolio. Engineered using lightweight glass yarn paired with a white-colored backing, EcoGlass Blackout delivers total darkness in any room while adhering to the highest environmental and health standards. As the first blackout fabric on the market to achieve both Red-List Free status and Cradle-to-Cradle certification, EcoGlass Blackout sets a new benchmark for eco-responsible design in the shading industry.

"Integrating EPDs into our motorized shade systems and launching EcoGlass Blackout exemplifies our relentless drive toward sustainable innovation," said Tyler Congemi, Senior Manager at Mecho. "These advancements not only provide unparalleled performance and aesthetic appeal, but also offer our clients the transparency they need to build healthier, more sustainable spaces."

Building on decades of commitment to sustainable practices, Mecho's expanded portfolio of eco-friendly shade cloths-including our new EcoGlass Blackout-continues to push the boundaries of environmental stewardship in the building industry. This dual launch highlights Mecho's proactive approach to reducing carbon and fostering a circular economy, ensuring its products support both occupant wellbeing and the planet.
