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 fibres.
Fibres and yarns are traceable- CiCLO® technology has an authentication program that requires all fibre 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.
Features and Benefits
Sustainable
- Utilises proprietary technology to reduce plastic waste in landfills and plastic pollution in our oceans
- ECO PASSPORT certified by OEKO- TEX
- Non-toxic to marine life
Functional
- Easy to implement in the existing manufacturing
- Maintains integrity of fibres, no loss of durability or performance
Sensible
- The CiCLO® fibres behave more like natural fibres when they end up in the environment
- The biodegradation process takes a long time and access to moisture and an abundance of microbes. It will not happen during use or care
- STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® CLASS I
- Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified
