“EcoGuard adheres to our corporate mission to manufacture products that pose low environmental risk,” said Scott Tesser, president of Precision Textiles. “Isolation gowns produced with polypropylene materials can take over 600 years to biodegrade in a landfill, leading to the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The additive in our EcoGuard material accelerates the biodegradation process to approximately six years, reducing the CO2 footprint that is harmful to the environment.
