Biodegradable polyester nonwoven: "Naturebound"
What seemed to be impossible has now become reality: biodegradable polyester!
Chemical sugar is added to virgin or recycled polyester fibres. In this way the fibres can be metabolised by microbes.
We process these innovative fibres into polyester nonwovens for the applications furniture, bedding and insulation. The material is also suitable for textile products like for ex. jackets, backpacks and many more.
Biological cycle: on a landfill the material biodegrades by 94 % in less than 2 years into a humus -like soil - on which plants can be grown. Should the material be brought into oceans or rivers it biodegrades by 86 % within 4,2 years. NO MICROPLASTIC remains.
Technological cycle: all biodegradable products are mono-materials and can be recycled 100 %. Thus they are fit for a circular economy.
