New line of technical and eco-sustainable fabrics in line with circular economy objectives
Category:
CSR & Sustainability
Industrie Chimiche Forestali S.p.A. has recently developed a new line of technical and eco-sustainable fabrics called BIOSTICK, used for the production of luxury footwear and leather goods.
The new BIOSTICK products are fabrics made with formulations based on polylactic acid (PLA) derived from renewable plant sources and polymers partially obtained from non-edible vegetable oils. Specifically, polylactic acid is known for its biodegradability, compostability, and biocompatibility with human skin.
These new products therefore meet the goals of reuse, recycling, and the use of renewable resources that are part of the Circular Economy model the Industrie Chimiche Forestali Group aims to pursue.
