NOOSA™ has developed a technology that manufactures textile fiber from corn, sugarcane, and wheat. The fibers are made from polylactic acid (PLA) derived from GMO-free crops and do not compete with the food industry. The protein from these feedstocks is redirected to food production, while NOOSA™ focuses on carbohydrates such as sugar and starch.
The company is also developing NOOCYCLE™, a patented technology designed to reduce post-consumer waste. This innovative process separates NOOSA™ fibers from various components -- such as additives, pigments, coatings, and other material blends -- allowing for the recovery of 100% virgin-quality fibers without any deterioration or loss of properties. By using bio-based feedstocks, NOOSA™ enhances circularity in the textile industry and reduces CO2 emissions by 30% and water usage by 50% compared to conventional cotton.
