OrangePiel is committed to limiting our environmental footprint. Unlike other grand-format printing substrates, Clipso is a PVC-free textile.

It is always important to get a picture of the whole footprint of a product, from the materials and processes to working conditions The employees who work in the manufacturing process have competitive salaries, benefits, and very good working conditions. The byproducts of the manufacturing process are little more than steam. The logistics of getting the material to the US are environmentally favorable due to the reduced weight per volume of using a textile as compared with many other traditionally used construction products.
We use a UV-cured printing process that yields no VOCs. The inks are so environmentally benign, there is not even a need for MSDS sheets. Since we dictate the size of the installation beforehand, there is minimal waste on site, and we are beginning a recycling program for any material that remains unused. The product does not yield dust (like painting) and there is no super-heating of a room (unlike most membrane systems).
- No VOCs
- PVC-free
- No adhesives
- Easily replaceable and recyclable
- Using Clipso as an alternative for traditional ceilings and walls, the amount of lumber and drywall is significantly reduced
- Installation yields little or no excess material and waste
- Transportation costs, both financial and environmental, are reduced because of Clipso's weight and ability to pack tight
- PVC-free covering material 15 times stronger than PVC film
- Installation requires only screws, Clipso tools, and a heat gun: no solvents or sanding
