Sustainable Product Innovations
Our company pioneered the recycling of fabric cutting waste from customers' shoe factories in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea and Thailand. We invested in state of the art technology that allowed us to recycle this waste into a closed loop system. This technology enabled us to achieve a minimal degradation in material quality. We can now regenerate this scrap into first quality footwear material for the very same customers. Until this time, millions of pounds of cutting waste were polluting the environment by being buried in landfills.

Our new family of materials—for office panels and seating—has the environment well in mind. We produce these elegant fabrics, comprised of recycled polyester, with our proprietary Microstitching technology.
