Tapping into the technology of Worry Free Plastics is part of our commitment to be more sustainable every day. It’s about progress, not perfection. Explore more ways we’re working to reduce our environmental impact, eliminating waste and pollution by design.
LEARN MOREOur partnership with Worry Free Plastics expands our focus on originality and longevity to encompass circular design: a holistic approach to product and systems development that aims to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use for as long as possible, and regenerate natural systems. The technology is embedded within our TerraStrand yarns, with no change to the look, feel, or performance of the products we make with these yarns. The uncompromising American craftsmanship of our products remains the same.
No. Products enhanced by Worry Free Plastics technology offer the quality and performance you have come to expect from Chilewich, including a long life that can span decades of daily use, indoors or outdoors. The technology remains dormant during normal use and only activates if the product is in an end-of-life environment such as a landfill or industrial composting facility.
Yes. The technology does not affect the easy maintenance of our products. Keeping them in peak condition is as easy as ever. They can be washed with soap and water, helping to reduce the energy and costs associated with laundering while maintaining a sleek, elegant look. Our products also remain bleach cleanable. You can find more information about caring for and maintaining your products here.
No. Worry Free Plastics technology only activates when exposed to specific anaerobic (oxygen-deprived) end-of-life conditions, namely landfills. Moisture, sunlight, dirt, and other normal outdoor conditions do not act as triggers. Your products will maintain their strength and beauty outdoors for decades.
Yes. Our woven and tufted products are strengthened at the polymer level by Microban® antimicrobial protection, which works continuously for the usable life of the product to inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Yes. The organic enzyme remains completely inert during normal use, is non-toxic, and only activates in specific end-of-life environments like landfills.
Beginning in September 2025, TerraStrand yarns will incorporate this technology. You'll see the Chilewich + Worry Free Plastics certification mark begin to appear on labeling as these yarns are made into products across our complete collection. Any products not made with TerraStrand yarns will not incorporate the technology: specifically, pressed placemats (Bloom, Dahlia, Daisy, and Petal) and Hachiman products.
In addition to passing our own testing, the technology of Worry Free Plastics has been evaluated by independent (third-party) organizations to ensure it meets the following ASTM (formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials) standards, which are used and accepted worldwide:
