Quilting Gone Green-Part 3
Jan 7th, 2008 by Jenny Stratton
The final series on “Green” batting is a look at Warm & Safe by the Warm Company.
Environmentally Friendly Feels Silky Soft
The Warm Company is proud to introduce Warm & Safe Environmentally Friendly Naturally Fire Retardant Quilt Batting. They’ve selected a remarkable, new patented fiber that is manufactured in a GREEN facility using a cellulose process. This revolutionary fiber starts as a sustainable, quick growing plantation trees (not competing with food supplies) and it is bio-degradable. The Warm Company processes the fiber using start of the art needle-punch technology without glues or resin giving Warm & Safe a soft hand, breathable warmth and all of the attributes quilters have come to expect from Warm Company battings.
Warm & Safe is inherently and permanently fire retardant. By design, the fiber has a high silica content making the fire retardant properties built in from the start. Warm & Safe will not melt, flow or emit toxic gases when exposed to heat and flame. Since Warm & Safe’s fire retardant is inherent, it is non-toxic, non allergenic and chemical free.
