Invista Bath Rug Fibers Get EPP Certification

Kennesaw, GA, Sept. 17, 2010--Polymer and fiber manufacturer Invista said it has earned the Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) certification for its Comforel bath rug fibers.

The EPP certification, performed under the recently revised Standard SCS-002 by Scientific Certification Systems, is an evaluation that uses advanced life cycle analysis (LCA) metrics that quantifies the human health and environmental impacts associated with a product across the product life cycle.

The company said its Macro Bulk Technology allows it to reduce the amount of fiber required to make bath rugs.
