Are Cellular shades organic?
No, Cellular cellular shades are not organic. The fabric is polyester, the headrail and bottom rail are metal, the cording is nylon and the brackets are stainless steel. All these elements are recyclable BUT there are dyes and glues in the fabric, which render them unrecyclable. But the saving and impact the shades make in terms of energy saving without question makes them an environmentally sound product made right here in the USA. The expected life cycle of an Cellular shade is so long that the whole recycling issue is academic because the shades stay out of the landfill far longer than their cheaper counterparts.
