CiCLO® Technology: Mitigating Synthetic Microfiber Pollution Through Biodegradation

You need to be logged in, to watch the webinar below:

This session will focus on biodegradation as one solution for fugitive microfiber pollution. We will cover the problem, details of CiCLO® technology, how it's tested, and how to responsibly communicate the benefits to consumers. Emphasis will be on biodegradation testing, common misperceptions and what it takes to pioneer a new sustainable technology in the textiles industry.

Launched in 2017 after five years of R&D, CiCLO® technology is a textile ingredient designed to mitigate synthetic microfiber pollution, the most prevalent form of microplastic pollution found in environments across the globe. When added to polyester or nylon, CiCLO® technology enables fibers that end up fugitive in the environment to biodegrade at greatly accelerated rates compared to conventional synthetics, leaving behind only basic natural elements.
