Are all Crypton Fabrics green?
We are constantly trying to make all of our fabrics increasingly sustainable. There is no black and white in green, and we recognize there is a Green Spectrum in which some products are more sustainable than others (eg: 100% vs. 50% recycled). With our initiative to use green chemistry on all Crypton Fabrics, we are moving in the right direction. It is more costly to us, but it is the right thing to do. Crypton Green is a bigger step along the spectrum, because it ensures more sustainable fibers are used and that the most stringent emissions requirements are met. Greening our manufacturing facility is also an important factor in ourproducts’ “greenness.” Because many factors are involved,and because the variables should be measured to avoid greenwashing, we are actively participating in the development of the Standard for Sustainable Commercial Fabrics. This product standard includes metrics for fiber selection, water, energy,renewable energy, safety of materials, and social accountabi
