Stainless steel is an alloy of steel, nickel and at least 10.5 percent chromium. Because of the impacts of mining, particularly those associated with chromium mining, and the energy used to produce it, stainless steel is not inherently a green material. However, stainless steel typically contains 65 to 80 percent recycled content—up to 100 percent is available—and it’s fully recyclable.

Organic Hemp/Cotton Shower Curtain/Liner
$50 each
PVC shower curtains contain high concentrations of phthalates, which have been linked to reproductive effects, and varying concentrations of organotins, which are compounds based on tin and hydrocarbons.
Seven chemicals commonly found in Vinyl shower curtains -- toluene, ethylbenzene, phenol, methyl isobutyl ketone, xylene, acetophenone and cumene -- have been identified by the Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous air pollutants.
Potential health effects include developmental damage and harm to the liver and the central nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems
Natural hemp (55%) and cotton (45%) are organically grown and processed without chlorine bleach, dyes and finishes normally used in the industry.
The Center works with a locally based sewer to manufacture the curtains.
The cotton shower curtain may help resist mildew and mold by drying quickly. After showering simply spread the curtain out so air can dry it, and try not to leave it gathered at one end of the tub. Be sure that your bathroom has good ventilation to ensure proper drying.
Wash every few weeks in cold water as needed.
