No animal is ever used specifically for its feathers, and Feather Industries has strict policies regarding feather procurement and the humane treatment and use of animal products (See our corporate policies here). Because of our feathers and down are by-products, in essence we provide a service, by helping bird farmers minimize any waste when raising their product. By sourcing our natural product, we provide not only an outlet for feather that would otherwise become waste and\/or burned, but in addition we provide farmers with an additional source of income by way of selling the by-product from their livestock.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=\u201dEach By-Product from our Process is Biodegradable\u201d content_max_width=\u201d800px\u201d _builder_version=\u201d3.0.82\u2033 header_font=\u201d|on|||\u201d header_font_size=\u201d22\u2033 header_text_color=\u201d#0e2855\u2033 body_text_align=\u201dleft\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>In addition to using all biodegradable detergents and recycling our water, another distinct advantage we have over synthetics in reducing our carbon footprint is that all by-products that result from the processing of feather and down are naturally occurring and in turn are 100% biodegradable.
