As more and more Indian consumers become eco-conscious with their choices, they expect brands to follow suit.
Being fashionable isn’t about simply looking good anymore, it’s about doing good.
This is where eco-innovation comes in, and one name that’s creating ripples in the textile industry is CiCLO®.
At Unitec Fibers, our mission has always been to lead the change toward sustainable, circular textiles. As specialists in recycled PET fibers, we understand that solving fashion’s pollution problem needs both science and soul. And CiCLO® technology gives us just that: an elegant solution to a not-so-glamorous issue: synthetic waste.
What is CiCLO® and Why Does It Matter?
CiCLO® is a patented textile technology that lets synthetic fibers such as polyester behave more like natural fibers, especially when they end up in the environment. Sounds complex?
Let’s break this down.
Most clothes today are made using synthetic materials like Polyester. They’re strong, affordable, and versatile; but don’t break down easily. Once discarded, these clothes can sit in landfills or oceans for decades.
CiCLO® changes that by embedding special biodegradable additives into synthetic fibers. This allows them to break down faster in landfills and oceans – just like cotton or wool would.
Put simply, CiCLO® makes these synthetic clothes more “planet-friendly” once they reach the end of their life.
Why Apparel Brands Are Turning to CiCLO®
For fashion brands trying to reduce their environmental impact, CiCLO® offers a win-win.
Here’s how:
- Eco-Credibility: Brands using CiCLO® fibers can proudly talk about sustainability without compromising on performance or aesthetics.
- Circularity Support: CiCLO® supports circular economy initiatives by addressing both production and post-use waste.
- No Compromise on Quality: The fibers look, feel, and perform just like traditional synthetic fibers- no trade-offs required.
- Global Certifications: CiCLO® technology is supported by third-party testing and recognized sustainability standards.
In short, when it comes to being green, it empowers brands to walk the talk.
