Green Knit Fabric
Green Knit is a premium quality fabric made with recycled content, significantly reducing carbon output compared to current methods used thoughout the industry.
Ideally suited for fabric tensioned displays such as Entasi, NLine, and Allure displays, Green Knit prints in vivid color and sharp resolution using state of the art Photo Fabric processes.
The Manufacturing Process
The yarn used to produce Green Knit is made from 100% recycled materials. Seven carbon producing manufacturing steps are eliminated in the production of the recycled yarn. For every pound of yarn produced 61,000 BTU's are conserved (equivalent to .5 gallons of gasoline).
This fabric is part of a focus toward offering environmentally responsible, green trade show displays. Its production process also involves the following earth-friendly initiatives:
- The Photo Fabric Dye-Sublimation printing is produced without the use of solvent inks.
- All aluminum scrap is recycled at each of the three manufacturing plants.
- All paper, cardboard and shipping tubes are recycled at all three plants.
- The Belfast plant uses BioHeat instead of standard heating oil.
- The Salt Lake City plant uses swamp coolers instead of air conditioners.
