Eco Intelligent® Polyester

Victor Innovatex, Inc. Eco Intelligent® Polyester
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.”

Victor Innovatex has identified the following additional environmental efforts and goals:

  • Use renewable, hydroelectric energy (2003 average was 86% of total energy usage)
  • Track energy, water and raw material use
  • Reduce waste at all operational levels
  • Minimize the need for backings and coatings
  • Eliminate the need for lubricants through our proprietary spinning process
  • Continually train staff in protocols of lean manufacturing and sustainable design
  • Adhere to the policies and procedures of our ISO 14001 certification
  • Use 100% recycled and recyclable packaging
  • The company also points to the high quality and aesthetics of its fabric-multiple colors, patterns, and textures-which are not sacrificed in the pursuit of environmental quality.
