Textile, specialty chemical and flooring manufacturer, Milliken & Company recently joined the Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC) and has being honored by Unifi as a Repreve Champion of Sustainability.

“Milliken’s focus on natural, recycled and easily recyclable materials is part of our overall sustainability journey to improve product design, manufacturing and sourcing practices,” said Jennifer K. Harmon, vice president, Milliken Specialty Interiors.

 

“We look forward to working closely with the Sustainable Furnishings Council and other concerned parties to build on our proud legacy of environmental stewardship and leadership.”

Harmon continued, “Through our development of many eco-friendly products, especially Breathe by Milliken, an eco-elegant, performance fabric available in natural or manmade materials made from recycled plastic bottles, Milliken Specialty Interiors has worked closely with companies like Unifi to reduce, reuse and recycle for the betterment of our homes, our health and our world,”
