Victor Innovatex's Eco Intelligent® Polyester fabric for seating, panel, as well as cubicle cloth for the healthcare industry, has been certified as a Cradle to Cradle product at the Gold level.
Victor Innovatex characterizes its polyester in the following fashion: “Eco Intelligent® Polyester is an antimony-free polyester (heavy-metal-free polyester)… designed to be used, recovered and remanufactured safely and effectively throughout multiple product lifecycles-the first textile designed as a technical nutrient.”

- Use renewable, hydroelectric energy (2003 average was 86% of total energy usage)
