FACTS - NSF 336 — Association of Contract Textiles (ACT) has developed FACTS to recognize contract textiles that conform to the rigors of the multi-attribute textiles standard NSF/ANSI 336 and are third party certified. This standard examines eight sustainability attributes. Two of those eight apply to the fiber composition: Fiber sourcing and safety of materials. The other six elements comprise aspects of the manufacturing process: Water  conservation, water quality, energy, air quality, recycling practices and social accountability. Once FACTS reaches a compliant threshold it can be designated as a FACTS Silver, Gold or Platinum rating by earning points for additional sustainability criteria.
