We use Better Flags for the production of our product, because Better Flags introduces a new standard in the flag industry as the world’s first brand offering a 100% sustainable flag assortment. By combining high-quality design with innovative textile technology, Better Flags tackles one of the industry’s most overlooked problems: microplastic pollution caused by traditional polyester flags. Conventional flags shed microplastics during use and after disposal, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. Better Flags solves this by using advanced biodegradable polyester technology, allowing flags to break down naturally at the end of their lifecycle without leaving harmful plastic residues behind. As a member of 1% for the Planet, Better Flags actively contributes to environmental initiatives worldwide.
Every Better Flag begins in Germany, where Georg+Otto Friedrich, Europe’s leading manufacturer of warp-knitted textiles, spins recycled PET into high-performance biodegradable polyester. It is at this stage that the fiber is enhanced with CiCLO®, a patented additive that allows polyester to break down under real-world conditions.
All CiCLO® materials used in Better Flags are OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified, REACH compliant, and verified non-toxic to marine and plant ecosystems - a combination of certifications rarely achieved together in synthetic textiles. The chemistry is embedded directly into the fiber without added coatings or finishes.

For small production runs, printing is handled by Hollanders Printing Solutions in the Netherlands - pioneers in sustainable textile printing. This method minimizes water use, avoids toxic dyes, and produces vibrant, long-lasting colors. For larger runs, printing and assembly take place at FAHNENGÄRTNER in Austria, a third-generation family company.
From weaving in Germany to assembly in Austria and the Netherlands, every stage of Better Flags’ production is transparent and documented. All Better Flags are made from polyester enhanced with CiCLO®, sourced responsibly and exclusively from European suppliers. Designed for a lifetime of use, Better Flags biodegrade naturally within approximately three years once discarded. Better Flags materials meet global standards for environmental responsibility, and carry OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification.
Not all polyester is created equal. Choosing CiCLO®-enhanced polyester helps cut microplastic pollution and set a new sustainability standard.
