Our Approach
SustainTex fabrics are fairly priced, made in the USA of sustainable fibers, and delivered with a documented environmental and social record via our F.A.S.T. FootprintTM approach. This assurance benefits you by reduced risk and enhancing brand integrity. It can also be a key part of your sustainable supply chain strategy.
Transparency in the textile manufacturing supply chain is a hot topic in today's marketplace. At SustainTex, we've built our supply chains with complete visibility from the ground up. We welcome customer visits to the people and plants that manufacture their products. For most customers, a one-day trip can carry them through the process of yarns to finished fabrics.
The grid below includes more detail about our "ground up" transparency and includes each aspect's effect on the integrated bottom line.
