Tencel Fabric’s Circular Model
Tencel fabric, a man-made fiber created from cotton textile waste and wood, offers a sustainable alternative by incorporating at least 30% recycled material. Through state-of-the-art production processes like REFIBRA™, Tencel contributes to a circular economy by reusing cotton scraps that would otherwise end up in landfills. Not only is Tencel breathable and soft, but it also reduces the need for virgin raw materials, shaping the future of fashion towards sustainability.
Transparency with REFIBRA™
REFIBRA™ is a revolutionary textile technology that combines pre- and post-consumer cotton waste with Tencel fibers to create a fully traceable and sustainable material alternative. Enhancing supply chain transparency, REFIBRA™ provides sourcing teams with a sustainable option for their product lines. By utilizing circular fabric production methods, REFIBRA™ sets a new standard for environmentally-friendly textile solutions.
Biodegradable Spandex
Addressing the issue of recyclability in clothing, biodegradable spandex options like Lycra® EcoMade fiber, creora® regen, and ROICA™ EF offer a sustainable solution. These materials, made from various sources including spandex manufacturing waste and recycled PET bottles, provide a way to incorporate stretch in clothing without harming the environment. By opting for biodegradable elastane options, fashion professionals can reduce the impact of clothing on landfills and promote a greener future.
Tracing Textile Fibers
In an era where transparency is paramount, traceable fiber technologies play a crucial role in ensuring the origins of clothing are known. Methods such as invisible pigments, DNA tags, and trace minerals added to fibers enable brands to have a comprehensive understanding of their products' journey. By embracing traceability, manufacturers can align with sustainability standards and provide consumers with products that meet both ethical and quality expectations.
