Fashions for Sustainable Design -
Press Release: June 2006

PacifiCrest Carpet rolls out the Ambiente HRC Series of eight styles constructed of Antron® Legacy High Recycled Content nylon fiber for sustainable design projects. The fiber is EPP (Environmentally Preferable Product) certified to have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared to other products that serve the same purpose.  The Antron® fiber is certified to contain 90 percent or more post-industrial recycled content.

Cobblestone streets, Roman cathedrals, Renaissance paintings, Venetian canals, Ravenna's mosaics, Agrigento's temples, Milano fashions, fast Ferraris and Chianti vineyards remind us of Italy.  We associate the environmental movement today with the ItaliaNostra, an organization long dedicated to the preservation of Italy's historical buildings and artistic heritage as well as its natural environment.  Read more...
