A response to customer inquiries regarding our products' adherence to:

MBDC's Cradle to Cradle (SM) program philosophy

We at American Home & Habitat Inc. Specialized Textile Outfitters applaud and support efforts to help improve the global environment and to promote environmental sustainability and recycling programs. We promote and
carry a complete line of All Natural Cotton Canvas which is
undyed, unbleached and untreated with chemical additives.

All synthetic Materials listed for sale on our website that
are C2C certified will be duly noted on the individual
product's  web page .

Most of our Vinyl Composites and Rubberized materials
 and some other products that we carry contain Chlorinated
Polymers and or Halogenated Hydrocarbons. These
substances prevent materials that contain them from
degrading and chemically breaking down when exposed
to the elements such as UV (sunshine), microbes & bacteria,
direct ground contact, water, mildew, oxidation etc.

These substances have been proven to prevent materials
 from decomposing when exposed to the elements in nature;
 sometimes for decades or longer.

Not all of our products are for every application....

If your environmental consciousness calls for a material that
 is environmentally sustainable (i.e. has short life cycle)
allowing it to be quickly recycled back into nature, we carry
a complete line of 100% cotton canvas, both 100%
unbleached and undyed that will surely not offend mother
earth, peacefully returning to nature when no longer needed.

However, 

If your mission requirements demand a product that will last
as long as possible, when exposed to harsh conditions, in
situations where equipment failure can mean the difference
between life and death; we carry a complete line of
Specialized Materials, Vinyl Composites and Rubberized
Materials designed to last as long as possible when
exposed to the elements.
