SYNLawn® makes a big splash with soy at Greenbuild 2010

Dalton, Ga. — Universal Textile Technologies^™ (UTT), the carpet industry's recognized leader in backing systems innovation and development, along with flooring and surfacing leaders AstroTurf^®, EcoPath^™ andSYNLawn^®, recently returned from showcasing at the world's largest green building exhibit hall, Chicago's McCormick Place West, for the U.S. Green Building Council's Greenbuild International Conference & Expo, Nov. 16-18, where more than 27,000 attendees from 112 countries attended educational sessions, networked and redefined the future of the green building industry.

In summarizing his experience, Doug Giles of UTT observed that the 2010 Greenbuild show, titled Generation Green: Redefining Our Future, “focused on many reoccurring subjects, but none more powerful than leadership and the future of the green innovation, both which were eloquently explored by former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell in his keynote address.”

These same concepts are at the core of UTT's biobased technologies and co-exhibitor EcoPath's line of sustainable and perpetually recyclable entryway matting products.
