The technology creates biodegradable ‘spots’ in the polymer matrix, where naturally-occurring microbes in certain environments can break down the plastics just as they do with natural fibers.
Fibers and yarns are traceable - CiCLO® technology has an authentication program that requires all fiber producers to validate the presence of CiCLO® in every batch they manufacture
Less energy intensive to produce in comparison to virgin materials, which results in lower carbon emissions during production.
Delivers a similar level of performance as the virgin range, whilst offering sustainability benefits.
