Standard Fiber is furthering its commitment to sustainability and minimizing environmental impact with its new bio-based antimicrobial treatment and compostable packaging solutions. The manufacturer of basic bedding products will present its new sustainable solutions to the home furnishings and bedding markets at the upcoming Las Vegas Market, July 24-28.
Standard Fiber’s EPA approved, 100 percent bio-based antimicrobial is a topical fabric treatment developed to prevent and remove odor molecules and microbes that are present in today’s environment. According to Standard Fiber, the bio-based antimicrobial tested a 99.99 percent under ASTM E2149, a standard test method for determining the antimicrobial activity of immobilized antimicrobial agents under dynamic contact conditions. It is also safe and sustainable by using natural materials such as minerals, ceramics and biopolymer-binders without chemicals, metals and synthetic binders.
The company’s compostable packaging solutions can replace vinyl and other plastic bags and are made from starchy plants. Standard Fiber will showcase these, as well as other products, with major bedding manufacturers at the Las Vegas Furniture Market in its new showroom, space C-1575 at the World Market Center.
