particularly when it comes to recyclable
constructions. The entrance of thermalbonded nonwoven velour fabrics "changed
the landscape," paving the way for these
fabrics to be 100 percent recyclable, he says.
"[We] were a major leader in this
change," says DiMaggio. "Prior to the
thermal-bonding process, nonwoven
carpets were bonded with water-based
resins that precluded them from any sort
of recycling. Now, the new fabrics are
bonded in a manner making them totally
recyclable, even into re-extrudable pellets.
"There is no question about it," he
continues. "Sustainability and recyclability
have been a major focus in automotive
design, and fabrics are very much involved
in this improvement."

The automotive industry is cyclical,
DiMaggio says, and now there are
indications it's heading into a downturn
cycle, potentially affecting capacities,
pricing and margins for perhaps the next
several years.
"Fabric producers will have to
increase their work relationships with
auto manufacturers," he cautions. "And
auto manufacturers will have to become
more open to ideas presented to them for
all to succeed."
SMART OPPORTUNITIES
A concern over sustainability is also being
seen by Apex Mills' buyers, says Jonathan
Kurz, owner and CEO of the company.
