*** Virgin nylon is made directly from chemicals derived from petroleum. Petroleum, or crude oil, is a fossil fuel that is the origin of most of the plastics that we use every day, as well as the source of our oil and gas.

**** Bluesign Standard is one of the most efficient ways to guarantee compliance with the newest environment, health, and safety standards without compromising functionality, quality, or design of products which line up with our beliefs.
