bottles into new possibilities. Making
things that matter. And helping you

EcoVerde – our sustainable line of 100%
recycled premium sewing threads.

Repurpose.
Repeat.
As the only globally available
100% recycled line of premium
corespun and textured sewing
threads on the market today,
Coats EcoVerde offers the same

as the industry’s leading
non‑recycled threads.

EcoVerde threads help complete

the loop for garments and
accessories that already use
recycled polyester fabrics or other
eco‑friendly fabrics or materials.
Used plastic (PET) bottles are collected
from consumers, sorted, cleaned,
ground to flakes and then melted
down and extruded into the fibre and
filaments from which EcoVerde sewing
threads are made.
