SPOTLIGHT ON FABRIC<br />
INNOVATIVE YARNS & FABRICS<br />
ROICA EF - the first sustainable stretch yarn<br />
Roica EF is a premium stretch fibre composed of up to 50% reclaimed<br />
pre-industrial waste certified under the Global Recycle Standard. It can be<br />
adapted to a host of applications, including sportswear, lingerie and<br />
underwear, and outerwear.<br />
RECOVER - coloured yarn without dyeing<br />
Recover is produced by Hilaturas Ferre from old clothing and textile scraps.<br />
Through a colour-sorting process, Recover produces the yarn in many colours<br />
using none of the water and toxic chemicals needed in conventional cotton.<br />
ORANGE FIBER - fabric that’s good for the skin and the planet<br />
Orange Fiber has created a textile by extracting cellulose from the<br />
700,000-plus tons of organic waste discarded in citrus fruit processing each<br />
year in Italy. Nanotechnology is used to enrich the fibre with Vitamin C to<br />
nourish the skin when worn. <strong>The</strong> product has completed its operational phase<br />
and is poised to enter the market.<br />
