Sunbrella, which is our flagship fabric line, and one of the most known outdoor fabrics in the US, has announced a fantastic new program for recycling used Sunbrella fabrics.   Here is a quote from the blog.

The new program, “Recycle My Sunbrella,” operates through a new website – www.recyclemysunbrella.com. Anyone interested in submitting Sunbrella fabrics for recycling should visit the site for additional details on the return process.

Randy Blackston, vice president of operations, said on the post that

“This program is part of our decades-long commitment to environmental stewardship.”

He further elaborated on the program.

“Sunbrella fabric has a service life far surpassing conventional fabrics, and we want to extend that life even further by ensuring it has a home outside the landfill,” Blackston said. “We will accept any pre-consumer and post-consumer Sunbrella fabrics including awning covers, boat covers and upholstery.”

CushionsAndUmbrellas has long been a enthusiastic endorser of  Sunbrella fabric, offering a wide range of Sunbrella umbrellas and Sunbrella cushions in our product offerings, and we’d like to contribute to the recycling program.  If you are a CushionsAndUmbrellas customer interested in recylcing your old Sunbrella based product, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Just received a new letter from one of our customers.

Dear CushionsAndUmbrellas.com,

I had to tell you how much we are enjoying our gorgeous offset patio umbrella. We ordered it about 2 weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. We set it up immediately (it was very easy) and my husband immediately figured out how to tilt it and turn it. What a joy to own! Our barbecue is right behind our patio set, so today he decided to do the first ‘cue of the summer. He turned the canopy over to the barbecue side, and had great shade while he made up some quick burgers and dogs. When it was time to sit down and enjoy (he has a monster sauce he loves to use, he won’t let me give out the recipe) we just turned the canopy back over the table. That feature alone was worth it!

We also wanted to tell you how comfortable the wood chaise cushions where. We ordered these along with the umbrella, and where very happy with the quality and the construction.

I’m happy to let you know that we found your site to be very informative, and your offerings so much more satisfying than what is available anywhere else. On our online searches, all we found was the same umbrellas over and over again. Your site was different, in that not only do you have a great selection, but a much more quality selection than what’s available, and for a price that is comparative to cheaper offerings. Much more bang for the buck!

Thank you.
