Environmental Footprint
Standard Fiber has always regarded efficiency and waste reduction as smart business, particularly in our manufacturing processes. We are acutely interested in incorporating sustainable solutions into our business operations that are designed to help reduce waste, conserve water, increase our energy efficiency, and reuse or recycle materials.
One of our mandates in working with outside vendors is they implement various programs and systems to minimize and manage their potential impact on the environment. This includes efforts to ensure the proper handling and disposal of wastewater and potentially hazardous materials from their factories and facilities.
When appropriate and available, we partner with suppliers to ensure that excessive packaging materials are eliminated and that packaging elements are recycled or re-used. We offer biodegradable shipping materials and encourage recycling in all of our vendor facilities.
Beyond our policy with our vendors, Standard Fiber recycles a variety of the materials used throughout our company. We make best use of recycled cardboard, plastic materials, paper and more. Such programs make it possible for us to continue mitigating our environmental impact and promote conservation in all of our business lines.
Commitment to the Community
The production facilities Standard Fiber uses employ over 3,800 people in developing regions located throughout central and eastern China. Our company is committed to bringing new opportunities and growth to these areas and we regularly seek opportunities to sponsor initiatives that may enhance the quality of life for these employees and positively impact their communities.
Eco-Friendly Options
As raw materials such as cotton and fiber-fill are key to many of the products we sell, Standard Fiber makes a conscious effort to promote environmental sustainability and conservation at every level. We embrace opportunities to create innovative, high performance bedding products that integrate fabrics, fibers, and technologies that are natural, organic, and/or comprised of environmentally preferred materials, including fibers regenerated from recycled sources. The vast majority of our polyester fiber fills are regenerated from recycled water and beverage bottles.
We diligently work with our customers to meet their specifications in providing products along with packaging that utilize eco-friendly materials. Whether this includes efforts to minimize paper usage and unnecessary packaging materials or maximize the use of recycled fiber products, our goal is to work in a manner the complements the socially responsible efforts of our customers.
