CiCLO

35% of microplastics entering the ocean originate from synthetic fiber textiles.

Non polluting and biodegradable

Non polluting and biodegradable

  • 5.6 Mt of synthetic microfibers emitted globally from apparel washing during 1950 to 2016.
  • Most of the microfibers end up as microplastics in rivers, lakes and oceans through sewers, where they cannot be recycled.
  • CiCLO technology is a master batch additive available from Intrinsic Advanced Materials (IAM), and has been successfully adapted for Polyester & Nylon.
  • Biodegradation rate mimics that of natural fibers.

About the product

A solution to fugitive synthetic microfiber pollution.

Jiangsu Yongyin is the certified CiCLO polyester filament manufacturer.

CiCLO biodegradation

CiCLO biodegradation

  • Added to recycled or virgin polyester and nylon during melt extrusion.
  • Embedded in matrix of plastic, creates biodegradable pathways.
  • Offers nutrients to attract microbes, adds amorphous regions, very slightly modifies crystallinity & hydrophilicity.
  • Patented & trademarked.
  • Traceable.
  • ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX Certified, REACH Compliant, tested to be non-toxic to marine life.
