Specialty Fabrics Review August 2024 - 83
Throughout its decades of operation, The Haartz Corporation
has transitioned to a more automated manufacturing process, with
an emphasis on employee safety. Images: The Haartz Corporation
consumer markets, whether it's for
apparel or tent liners.
For several years, Graniteville has
also used a polyvinyl butyral lacquer
made from recycled windshield
material of old cars as a polymer. " It's
an extremely good lacquer because it
can form a web and has film integrity,
which made it great for lawn furniture,
for the outdoor cushions, " Johnson
says. Today, the company uses the
product as an economical polymer for
ironing-board covers, many of which
are used in the hospitality industry.
Additional recycling efforts at
Graniteville include using scrap vinyl
and acrylics to create new plastisol
and polymers. Instead of offcuts
going into the landfill, Johnson says,
" We blend it, sometimes with virgin
material, to get the use out of it again. "
Such recycled polymers are used in
awnings, boat covers, construction
and automotive applications.
Both companies use recycled
material in their products, whether
that's postconsumer recycled
polyester or nylon or, in Haartz's
case, postindustrial recyclables. " A
lot of the products that we make, our
customer would use in the form of a
convertible top or door panels. There
are a lot of cutting materials that may
go into landfill, " Sadavarte says. " We
are developing products where we
could take that industrial recycle from
our product, regrind it, bring it back
and use it. "
End-user influence
Although the companies partner with
textile and chemical suppliers, the end
user can have the most impact on what
gets produced. Purchasing fabrics dyed
with recycled textiles or food industry
byproducts such as almond shells
requires buy-in from a brand partner,
Graniteville's Price says. Although
customers are aware of environmental
regulations, she says, " We're having
to change the expectation of what
we can provide, specifically with the
lack of oil repellency with the nonPFAS
chemistry. "
Cost is also a factor for consumers.
Since some bio-based or recycled
polymers are not widely used, they're
more expensive than traditional
options. " That's really the biggest
challenge: Even if you can find
SpecialtyFabricsReview.com 83
" We have to do the
entire calculation. ...
It's not just 'I'm going
to use this bio-based
chemical and now I have
a sustainable product.'
We're going to look at
the entire picture. "
