100% plant-based, 100% performance: BioFleax™ PEF, first to market

PERFORMANCE DAYS, Munich

Breakout Stage

Wednesday 14th October 2026

10:00 - 10:30 CEST

BioFleax™ PEF is the world's first PEF in commercial textile use. For years, plant-based innovation has forced brands to choose between 100% plant-based content and performance — BioFleax™ delivers both: a plant-based innovation platform that takes frontier polymer science out of the lab and turns renewable plants into a fibre that pairs natural-fibre comfort with synthetic functionality. It runs on existing spinning, knitting, weaving and dyeing lines, and is supplied at kiloton scale today, with 10k tonnes next. Drawing on live programmes with sportswear, fashion and luxury brands, this session covers what brands need to move from sample to programme: performance next to skin, qualification pathways, supply readiness and scale.
