Material: Orange Fiber ®
Developer(s): Adriana Santanocito and Enrica Arena (orangefiber.it)
Origin / Composition: Orange Fiber ® is an innovative textile made from the by-products of the citrus industry, particularly the peels of oranges left after juice extraction. This waste is transformed into a sustainable cellulose fiber.
Fossil Plastic Content: Orange Fiber ® is completely free from fossil plastic content, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic fabrics.
Production: The fiber is produced by extracting cellulose from citrus waste, which is then spun into a silky, soft fabric. This process is sustainable and leverages resources that would otherwise be discarded.
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): The MOQ is generally flexible and can vary depending on the needs of brands or manufacturers, allowing for both small-scale and large-scale production.
Properties: Orange Fiber ® boasts a soft, lightweight, and silky texture. It is biodegradable and can be blended with other fibers to enhance its versatility and application.
Applications: This innovative material is ideal for the fashion industry, particularly for creating garments such as dresses, blouses, and scarves. Its luxurious feel and sustainable origins make it perfect for high-end fashion.
