Eastman Naia™ cellulosic fiber is a sustainable fiber made from wood pulp. Naia™ fiber is sustainable from its origin to its end of life. Certifications:

TUV AUSTRIA “OK biodegradable”, Oekotex® Standard 100; FSC® and/or PEFC™

Discover more VISCOSA DA COTTON LINTERS

The Viscose Rayon Filament Yarn from cotton linters is a valid alternative to the same product made with forest raw material. It is produced by Jilin Chemical Fiber Stock Co. from cotton linter, the waste of cotton production and it is biodegradable. These characteristics confer Circular Economy credentials to this fiber. Certifications: RCS 100.

Discover more ORGANIC COTTON

Organic cotton comes from cotton crops that guarantee greater respect for the environment: it reduces water consumption and the use of pesticides and chemicals both in the cultivation phase and in the production phase. To ensuring greater respect for the environment and for workers’ rights, organic cotton guarantees greater well-being for the individual, it is hypoallergenic, breathable, with a high absorbency and guarantees a long-lasting life to garments. Certifications: GOTS

TENCEL™

TENCEL™ fibers are produced by environmentally responsible processes from the sustainably sourced natural raw material wood.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are extracted from sustainably grown wood using a unique closed loop system which recovers and reuses the solvents used, minimizing the environmental impact of production. Unique physical properties lead to their high tenacity profile, efficient moisture management and gentleness to skin.
TENCEL™ Modal fibers are extracted from naturally grown beech wood by an environmentally responsible integrated pulp-to-fiber process, which is self-sufficient in energy and recovers co-products from component parts of the wood. This flexible fiber is renowned for its exceptional softness. Composed of natural material, all TENCEL™ standard Modal fibers are biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil and marine.

Discover more Black Land

Hemp fiber is originating in the subcontinent of South Asia and it is a sustainable fiber. The hemp cultivation doesn’t need artificial irrigation, chemical fertilizer, pesticides and herbicide, has a recovery effect on the soil and can absorb heavy metals elements to improve the polluted soil; it is 100% biodegradable. This fiber is naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, hygroscopic, thermo regulator, breathable, anti-static. The hemp fiber we use is produced at Heilongjiang Kingdom Enterprise CO.LTD.

Discover more Lenpur™

Lenpur™ is a pure cellulose, ecological and healthy yarn. The wood pulp is exclusively obtained from trimmed wood with full respect of eco-sustainability standards.

This fiber is obtained exclusively from the white fir and it differs from other cellulosics because of the soft touch and the high absorbent and moisture release capability. Lempur fabrics are therefore: thermoregulators, breathable, anti-odour and absorbent, with tactile properties, similar to those of cashmere.

Discover more KAPOK

Kapok is a natural fiber obtained from the fruits of the Ceiba pentandra, a very common tree in South America.

The peculiarity of this fiber is its low density, which makes it the lightest natural fiber in the world. This characteristic gives softness and breathability to the fabrics, but at the same time resistance is guaranteed. Kapok is a totally organic fiber as it grows spontaneously in nature, it is also hand extracted from the pods of the plant and it is biodegradable.

NETTLE

Nettle is a vegetable fiber obtained from wild nettle (Urtica dioica).

Thanks to its high resistance to pathogens and stinging properties, its cultivation doesn’t require the use of herbicides and pesticides. It is a highly sought-after fiber, elastic, resistant and breathable, shiny like silk. It is a natural fiber, 100% biodegradable, which also has antistatic properties.

Bamboo

Bamboo is a plant that contains cellulose and can be grown without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides or defoliants and uses a low amount of water.

The bamboo fiber fabric, thanks to its properties and benefits, is particularly suitable for being in direct contact with the skin. It absorbs moisture and is naturally antibacterial. Certifications: Oekotex® Standard 100, FSC®

CRABYON®

Crabyon® is a fiber created from the crushing of crustacean shells from the food industry mixed with cellulose, without the use of solvents. The shells of crustaceans contain Chitin and Chitosan, substances that give the fabric antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. This fiber is also haemostatic, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, transpirable.

RECYCLED POLYESTER

Recycled polyester offers numerous environmental and functional benefits. By using waste materials such as PET bottles or discarded fabrics, it reduces the use of fossil resources and CO₂ emissions compared to virgin polyester. This process also requires less water and energy, contributing to a lower overall environmental impact.

Moreover, recycled polyester retains the main technical characteristics of the original material—such as strength, lightness, and versatility—making it suitable for various applications in the fashion industry.

Discover more RECYCLED POLYAMIDE

Q-NOVA is a recycled polyamide 6.6 fiber made from regenerated pre-consumer raw materials, in line with modern traceability standards and requirements.

The sustainable polyamide yarn Q-CYCLE® helps save significant amounts of fossil resources and CO₂ emissions by converting end-of-life tires into a valuable product. This process retains the high quality of polyamide, turning it into a raw material for innovative textiles in the fashion industry.

Discover more ORGANIC SILK

Organic silk is cultivated without the use of chemicals and is certified according to the GOTS standard, which ensures compliance with strict environmental and social criteria throughout the entire supply chain.

Silkworms are fed mulberry leaves from organic farms, free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. The processing is carried out using low-impact techniques, without toxic substances, with full respect for both people and the ecosystem.

Every stage of production is traced, monitored, and verified by independent bodies to ensure transparency and accountability.

Organic silk is not only beautiful to the eye and touch — it is a natural, breathable, and fully biodegradable fiber. Choosing it means wearing a garment that respects the planet and the people who live on it.
