Moss is pleased to introduce Moss Green Knit, a fabric made with recycled content. Sixty percent of the yarn used in making Moss Green Knit is one hundred percent recycled.

Moss Green Knit can be used for structures, such as custom projects, Moss Shapes and Entasi, and also for banners. Moss Green Knit can be printed using Moss' state of the art Photo Fabric and UltraPrint IDS printing options.

The yarn used to produce Moss Green Knit is made from 100% recycled materials. Seven carbon producing manufacturing steps are eliminated in the production of the recycled yarn. For every pound of yarn produced 61,000 BTU's are conserved (equivalent to .5 gallons of gasoline).

The introduction of this fabric is another example of Moss's commitment to environmental responsibility. Moss Inc is proud of its many initiatives in this area that include:

•Our Photo Fabric Dye-Sublimation printing is produced without the use of solvent inks.
•All aluminum scrap is recycled at our three manufacturing plants.
•All paper, cardboard and shipping tubes are recycled at our three plants.
•Moss offers a rental program - encouraging our customers to rent rather than buy and discard after limited use.
•The Moss Belfast plant uses BioHeat instead of standard heating oil.
•The Moss Salt Lake City plant uses swamp coolers instead of air conditioners.
•Moss has been a part of the State of Maine's Step-Up program since 2002. The Step-Up Program provides a progression businesses can follow to become environmentally sustainable and to become leaders in the business community.
