In addition to its obvious green benefits, Eco2cotton yarns are offered in fashion-forward solid colors as well as organic looking heathers, with hints of multiple colors. Such heathers are only achieved through the blending of pre-dyed fibers, and can not be achieved using traditional cotton dyes.
Through the support of the outdoor retail market, Jimtex Yarns is currently in the midst of programs involving socks, sweaters, t-shirts, hats, fleece and woven apparel items.
Eco2cotton yarns can also be found in larger mass-market settings for apparel, handknitting, upholstery, and kitchen and bath textiles as well as in fiber forms for pillow fill, nonwovens, sponges, under-carpet pad, automotive sound insulation, and mattresses.
“Major retailers and corporations that are on the cutting edge in addressing environmental issues, are pursuing Eco2cotton for use in their applications,” Ms. Zeldin said. Martex Fiber, for example, has worked with Bonded Logic Inc to utilize recycled fibers to manufacture decorative eco-friendly, sound-insulating wall and ceiling tiles, which are growing in popularity for large corporate lobbies and restaurants.
“It is our goal to position Eco2cotton worldwide,” Zeldin said. “When a consumer sees Eco2cotton, he or she will immediately recognize the environmental value of selecting that product over one that is less eco-friendly.”.
