Cradle to Cradle Manufacturing
Nov\Dec 2008

 

Acid IconBella~Dura™ Fabric Technology, the "only fabric on the market, synthetic or natural, that is made from a byproduct of post-industrial waste and at the end of its life is 100 percent recyclable," was awarded the first EMA for a Hospitality Product. Produced from a petroleum refining byproduct, Bella~Dura™ requires substantially less energy, uses only a small amount of water, and produces no harmful industrial waste to manufacture. All Bella~Dura™ yarn and fabric can be safely and eas-ily recycled and converted into "inert black plas-tic resin pellets" for use in the production of a variety of materials, including automotive parts. truck bed liners and plant containers.
