The ever increasing awareness of the influence we have on our environment challenges us to discover new ways in which to lessen this impact. To address these concerns General Fabrics is proud to introduce a new product - Eco-Foam - which offers an ecologically friendly alternative while providing superior performance and comfort.
People friendly Flame retardants: safety precaution or health hazard? Recent Health studies have caused a growing concern over the use of polybrominated-diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) as flame retardants to the point where the federal government is considering a ban on their use. Eco-Foam has been formulated to meet industry wide flammability requirements while eliminating the use of PBDEs, ensuring peace of mind along with exceptional comfort.
Planet friendly Eco-Foam utilizes a unique soya bean based oil in its composition, decreasing the use of conventional fossil fuel-based raw materials by 60%. Further reductions are achieved as a result of more energy efficient qethods used in the production of the oil itself.
Diverting the consumption of fossil fuel-based resources to more ecologically sound alternatives will be an ongoing process and as such, General Fabrics will strive to provide such options as they become available.
