Sustainability
Responsible Manufacturing
We’re dedicated to minimising our impact and helping to build a greener aviation industry.
Our Commitment
As a supplier to the aviation industry, it’s good to know that at Replin, and across the wider AW Hainsworth group, we are committed to reducing our impact and operating sustainably.
This covers our products, for example our Steadfast collection, which uses undyed wool and alpaca, thus eliminating waste from dyeing. We also constantly review our processes to manage energy and water consumption and reduce waste.
The details of our Sustainability journey are published every year in the AW Hainsworth Sustainability Report, a statement of our shared belief in a better future, not just for aviation, but for everyone.
Transparency and accountability
In 2024 we began our partnership with Planet Mark to measure and reduce our carbon footprint, and are now a Planet Mark Certified Business. This certification demonstrates our commitment to measuring and cutting our carbon emissions with full transparency and accountability. We have identified and tracked all Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions at our mill, and are in the process of tracking our Scope 3 emissions. All data is independently verified and confirmed to be accurate by Planet Mark.
Now we have tracked and verified our carbon emissions, we have agreed a timescale for setting our Net Zero targets, and committed to reducing our overall carbon footprint by 5% year-on-year. More information about our carbon emissions tracking can be found in the latest AW Hainsworth Sustainability Report.

Our projects
We’re constantly innovating and developing new products and manufacturing processes that reduce waste and help reduce the overall carbon footprint of the aircraft cabin.
Steadfast Undyed Fabrics
Designed to meet the needs of the modern traveller, our range of Steadfast fabrics are made using natural undyed fibres, resulting in a range of luxurious, sustainable, yet highly durable fabrics for vertical surfaces and passenger seating. By using the natural shades of sheep and alpaca wool, we eliminate the transportation, water and waste effluence created by the dyeing process. This results in an estimated carbon reduction of 17.3% – an excellent result achieved without negatively affecting the performance or texture of the fabric.
Natural Dyes
Developed in collaboration with Tintoria Di Quaregna, Replin has created the world’s first naturally dyed aviation-compliant seating fabric. Made using pure wool and plant-based dyes, the fabric combines sustainability with vibrant luxurious colour, while maintaining full compliance with aviation safety standards. At end-of-life, the fabric is 100% biodegradable and can be returned to the earth.
