The poet Emily Dickinson is purported to have said, “If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves.” With this in mind, what better example of the decorated apparel industry’s commitment to sustainability than Madeira USA’s Polyneon Green embroidery thread? Manufactured from 100-percent recycled post-consumer PET bottles, the new thread provides the same strength, brilliant colors, shine and outstanding overall performance as its predecessors, all the while making life that much easier for Mother Earth. Better still, the new thread is only the most recent of a number of “green” products Madeira USA has brought to the marketplace. Among these are the company’s Sensa Green thread, made entirely of Lyocell, a fiber of botanic origin, and its E-ZEE Cut Green backing product, which like Polyneon Green is made from 100-percent recycled polyester. Emily Dickenson, with her keen eye for nature and natural world, would be proud! For more information, go to madeirausa.com.
