Their cellulose yarn can be utilized unadulterated to make 100% citrus, biodegradable fabric which feels delicate, velvety and lightweight. It can likewise be mixed with different materials and be obscure or sparkly as per the buyer's requirements.
The fiber is made through a process the brand (Orange fiber) developed, as a team with Politecnico di Milano College.

The yarn at that point goes back to Italy, to their fabric maker in Como, where their restrictive fabrics are made to be utilized by the design brands around the world. This cycle can possibly change the 700,000 tons of pastazzo created every year by the Italian citrus handling industry into excellent fabric.
With their Orange Fiber, they need to empower sustainable plan and creation esteems inside the design business. They are connecting with industry experts to fabricate sustainable inventory chains and embrace reused and sustainable raw materials.
