Treated with a water repellant and anti-microbial finish, the EnviroCurtain shower curtain can be used as a decorative outside curtain or as a shower liner to keep water inside a tub or shower stall. Regular vinyl shower curtains release chemical gases and odors from their materials and are manufactured with non-renewable and chemical resources. Vinyl shower curtains are difficult to clean and end up in a landfill where they don't decompose and could release dangerous substances into the ground. Consider the cost of buying new vinyl shower curtains every time they become grimy and moldy.
Recycled Polyester has all of the properties of new Polyester. Our EnviroCurtain shower curtains meet the Federal Trade Commission guidelines for recycled products. Made from 100% recycled materials including post consumer and post industrial PET waste. This keeps these materials out of landfills and provides a value and demand for the base materials to encourage recycling.
The material used for our shower curtains conserves natural resources by reducing the energy consumption necessary for production and protects petroleum resources by offsetting the need to produce new polyester. Each full size EnviroCurtain shower curtain saves 130,000 BTU's of energy compared to the production of new polyester, equivalent to over 1 gallon of gasoline. The sale of 26 full size recycled polyester shower curtains saves enough energy in the manufacturing of yarn to power a home for an entire month.
The buttons of the EnviroCurtain shower curtains are made from the seed of the Tagua Palm Tree. Each button displays a unique grain similar to a wood grain. Primarily harvested in the tropical rainforests of South America, these seeds provide a sustainable economic enterprise for the native people and help support Rainforest conservation.
