Lifecycle or Recycled.
AMANN's sustainable sewing and embroidery threads
AMANN develops products in a targeted manner in order to make them not only more sustainable, but also more environmentally friendly through the use of selected recycling and natural materials. Cradle to Cradle Certified®, stands for a consistent, continuous recycling management, where no waste is generated, as the Cradle to Cradle Certified® products circulate in closed cycles. Click here for further information on the Cradle to Cradle certification.
Our Lifecycle product line enables our customers to have circular technical or biological material flows.
Our sewing and embroidery threads from the Recycled line are made from 100% high-quality recycled materials and have almost the same quality features as our excellent range products, for instance in terms of breaking strength, abrasion resistance and sewability.
The finish of our sewing threads is also systematically optimised. For example, in the production of water-repellent sewing threads, we replace environmentally harmful perfluorocarbons (PFCs) with environmentally compatible alternatives. Our eco-friendly WRe finish is available for Saba WRe, Serafil WRe, Onyx WRe and Serabraid WRe. As a globally operating company, AMANN also focuses on sustainable, fair and safe production processes worldwide. We have joined the UN Global Compact and certify our production sites according to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).
AMANN product line Lifecycle –
Cradle to Cradle Certified®️ Gold
Every year, approximately 92 million tons of textile waste are generated worldwide (source: Global Fashion Agenda & the Boston Consulting Group 2019). To counteract the global textile waste and to fulfill our responsibility towards the environment, we develop the threads of our Lifecycle line based on the principle of a consistent, continuous recycling management, also known as Cradle to Cradle®. Cradle to Cradle Certified® products are awarded certification based upon their performance across five critical areas of sustainability: Material Health, Product Circularity, Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Stewardship, and Social Fairness. Cradle to Cradle Certified® products are either returned to biological cycles as biological nutrients or continuously kept in technical cycles as technical nutrients, consequently no waste is produced! Therefore, AMANN Lifecycle sewing and embroidery threads can either be 100% composted or 100% reprocessed. This resource-saving process has a huge positive impact on the environment, without affecting the product quality. All Lifecycle products are Cradle to Cradle Certified®️ Gold.
AMANN’s Recycled product line –
made from 100% recycled raw materials
The sewing and embroidery threads of our Recycled line are made from 100% recycled materials. The products of the Recycled line nearly have the same high-quality characteristics as their corresponding sister products of the AMANN standard range. All products from our Recycled line are available as GRS certified. You can find the GRS certificate in the Download Center of our website

We are looking forward to being in contact with you.
The sustainable product range of the AMANN Group consists of the RECYCLED line and the LIFECYCLE line. All products from the LIFECYCLE line are Cradle to Cradle Certified®️ Gold and can be fully recycled. Cradle to Cradle Certified®️ stands for a consistent, continuous recycling management, in which no waste is generated, since the Cradle to Cradle® products can either be returned to biological cycles as biological nutrients or can be continuously kept in technical cycles as technical nutrients. The sustainable LIFECYCLE line currently consists of Lifecycle Polyamide, the first recycled polyamide sewing thread.
The sustainable AMANN sewing threads and embroidery threads from the RECYCLED line are made of 100% high-quality recycled materials and have almost the same quality characteristics as the high-quality range products, e.g. in terms of breaking strength, abrasion resistance and sewability. The sustainable RECYCLED line currently consists of Saba Recycled, a polyester/polyester core spun thread made from 100% recycled PET bottles and Sabatex Recyled, a bulk yarn made from texturised polyester continuous filament, which is also made from 100% recycled PET bottles.
The finish of the AMANN sewing threads is also systematically optimised. For example, in the production of water-repellent sewing threads, AMANN replaces environmentally harmful perfluorocarbons (PFCs) with environmentally compatible alternatives. The new eco-friendly WRe finish is available for Saba WRe, Serafil WRe, and Onyx WRe. As a globally operating company, AMANN also focuses on sustainable, fair and safe production processes worldwide. Consequently, AMANN has joined the UN Global Compact and certifies its production sites according to the Global Recycled Standard.
