SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE MANUFACTURING
Venturing Towards a Better Tomorrow
Standard
100
At FiberArt, we have always been dedicated to the pursuit of a sustainable future.
Throughout the years we have updated our equipment and manufacturing approach to further our commitment to creating a product that is best for the consumer and the environment.
Our process begins with eco-friendly materials. Our blankets are comprised of 100% cotton, utilizing 25% recycled cotton, and any manufacturing waste is also recycled. The manufacturing process focuses on energy and resource-efficient machinery, which allows us to operate with minimal environmental impact. All of this is combined with our new solar panel installation. This solar farm makes us one of a select few green energy textile manufactures in the USA!
From there we have order solutions (Weave-On-Demand) that minimize transportation and waste, and cut down unnecessary storage allocation for the buyer. This process builds a more sustainable supply chain.
Lastly, our products are made to last a lifetime, which keeps them out of landfills due to damage or wear. Years of research and product development have led us to a healthy and balanced sustainable product and process that we can continue to improve on as the world develops new technologies and sustainable solutions in the textile world.
