Environment & Sustainability
Are you Green?
For two decades the world’s conversation about environmental responsibility has grown from the personal choice of individuals to the central philosophy of companies that want not just to compete, but to be successful.
Since 1921, AATCC has helped its members develop and create textile products using quality control procedures and cost-effective processes that reduce or eliminate waste. Our textile testing methods and supplies, and published research have helped textile professionals around the world attain product excellence for more than
80 years.
Not sure where to start? Confused by all the "green" claims, terminology, and certifications? AATCC can help you get the facts.
