Eco Products :: VICTOR ::




Yes, it looks like traditional polyester, but this polyester is different. It helps preserve the environment. It’s sustainable from start to finish. In keeping with McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry’s Cradle-to-Cradle approach*, Eco Intelligent® Polyester is designed to benefit the environment throughout the entire product lifecycle: production, use, and perpetual recycling.
The First True “Technical Nutrient” Eco Intelligent® Polyester is designed to remain in a closed-loop system of manufacture, reuse, and recovery, for value sustained through an unlimited number of product lifecycles. Enhanced Material Safety, Eco Intelligent® Polyester is the first antimony-free polyester. It uses fully optimized dyes and chemicals, is chlorine-free and it is free of PBTs (chemicals that are persistent, bio-accumulative, and/or toxic). Safely and Perpetually Recyclable, since Eco Intelligent® Polyester doesn’t have the hazardous by-products found in traditional polyester, it’s much safer for the environment.				Produced with Renewable Energy, Eco Intelligent® Polyester is produced with hydroelectric power, which accounts for over 91% of the energy use in our facilities. A Long History of Recycling, Eco Intelligent® Polyester is just our most recent example of a commitment to the environment. Victor has been recycling and utilizing waste as a resource for over 50 years. All of our textile paper waste, plastic waste, and packaging are both recycled and recyclable. And, with the help of our diligent, eco-focused team, we think 0% waste is achievable. We’ve already achieved ISO 14001 Certification and continue to decrease our energy and water consumption per yard of fabric produced year over year.
*All Eco Intelligent® Polyester (EIP) and Eco Intelligent® Polyester FR (EIP-FR) fabrics were developed based on MBDC's Cradle to Cradle Gold Design Certification for material and chemical assessment. These products have been fully assessed and, to the extent feasible, optimized for material health and safety based on the MBDC protocol.
