FABRIC INDUSTRY MAGAZINE LAUNCHED FOR 
ECO- AND NATURAL FIBERS


Fiber Ethics Magazine -- a publication dedicated to helping retailers unravel 
and understand the explosion of "ethical fabrics" -- will be launched today in 
North America and around the world.

The print sister of the successful e-publication Fiber Ethics Online, Fiber 
Ethics Magazine will deliver quarterly industry analysis, product reviews and 
targetted advice to a wide variety of retailers buying products made from such 
materials as flax, hemp, organic wools, kenaf, organic cottons, and recycled 
synthetic fibers.

"For too long these industries have developed separately," says David Redwood, 
editor of Fiber Ethics Magazine. "Buyers who've tried to meet the customer 
demand out there for these socially-conscious fibers have expressed the need for
a comprehensive information source. Fiber Ethics Magazine brings these different
materials under one banner." 

Publisher Randy Mugford, president of HPI Group, says, "The goal is to provide a
platform for businesses, especially small- and mid-sized socially responsible 
ones, to get the message out that business and environmental and social 
responsibility can, and do, co-exist."

New technologies are literally blending these renewable materials together. 
Combined with the spending power of a socially-conscious consumer base estimated
at over 45 million in the United States alone, there is clearly a motive for 
more and more manufacturers to adopt healthier, cleaner and sustainable fabrics.

Fiber Ethics Magazine sheds light on the latest opportunities and challenges the
industry faces.

Most of all the magazine provides retailers with the latest in product 
development, styles and technical information.

Fiber Ethics Magazine is published in Nova Scotia, Canada by the privately-held 
HPI Group. For subscriptions call 1-800-330-9117. For advertising information 
call Laurie Scott at (902) 634-8131.
