Naia™ cellulose fiber addresses one of the biggest challenges in the textile industry: the development of a large-scale circular economy and the transition to closed-loop production. It is made from 60% sustainably sourced wood (responsibly harvested from certified pine and eucalyptus forests) and 40% certified recycled waste materials. This allows Naia™ to add value to hard-to-recycle waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Naia™ fiber boasts full traceability – from tree to finished fiber. Environmentally friendly Naia™ fiber is produced in the USA in accordance with the highest standards of safety, social responsibility, and environmental protection. The production process takes place in a safe closed-loop system where solvents are recovered and reused. Naia™ has an optimized, low-emission production process characterized by a small carbon and water footprint during the wood-to-fiber conversion stage, and its compliance has been confirmed by an independent assessment in accordance with ISO 1444. The material is certified as biodegradable and compostable.
