Products can only be as sustainable as the materials and processes used to create them. Guided by this simple truth, Victor Group has developed a smarter way to think about textile manufacturing—what we call a philosophy of Eco Intelligence^®—and its impact on the environment and human health. This focus on sustainability and commitment to being a leader in the development of environmentally friendly materials and processes led to the creation of the Eco Intelligent^® family of products—a designation that makes it easy for Victor’s customers to identify and choose products that meet their environmental needs.

Now, Victor Group introduces the latest edition to the family of Eco Intelligent® products. Eco Intelligent PC Recycled Polyester with Agion, the textile industry’s first post-consumer recycled polyester with Agion technology built into the fiber, provides eco-friendly benefits along with the revolutionary antimicrobial surface protection of Agion. Certified Cradle-to-Cradle(sm) Silver by MBDC, the fabrics offer an environmentally friendly solution for anyone concerned with protecting their fabric from mold, mildew, odor and destructive microbes.*

Agion’s smart delivery mechanism offers patented, long-lasting antimicrobial protection to the protected surface. Globally registered and recognized as a leading ingredient brand, Agion technology is already widely used in consumer products for the home and office, in health care applications and by the food and water industries. Agion is also one of the most eco-friendly antimicrobial products available. In fact, Eco Intelligent PC Recycled Polyester with Agion meets criteria aligned with international sustainable certification on material health and safety, water, energy, recyclability and social responsibility.

Eco Intelligent PC Recycled Polyester with Agion combines sustainable and antimicrobial attributes with exceptional aesthetics, cleanability and durability. Designed and manufactured to meet Victor’s stringent criteria for performance, these fabrics offer 100% post-consumer polyester construction, 200 hours lightfastness minimum and abrasion results up to 100,000 double-rubs and excellent brush pill results. Yarn dyed using new technology that makes package-dyed fibers more colorfast and resistant to bleach/chlorine, these innovative fibers offer a near-infinite color palette, along with the ability to be cleaned using a simple solution of household bleach. When you add up all these factors, it becomes clear that Eco Intelligent® Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester with Agion is the natural choice for any environment.
