Sustainable textiles additive that creates biodegradable spots in the matrix of plastic by combining it with polyester and nylon at the beginning of the fiber-making process. The biodegradation process is non-toxic to marine life. Process is easy to implement in existing manufacturing. Integrity, durability, and performance of fibers are maintained. Fibers and yarns are traceable through the CiCLO® Certificate of Authenticity program. CiCLO® is only activated in conditions where biodegradation can naturally occur. Traditional polyester uses the same material found in plastic bottles and remains indefinitely in the environment.
