Product information
The Refibra technology involves upcycling cotton scraps from garment production. These cotton scraps are transformed into cotton pulp. A substantial proportion of this is added to wood pulp, and the combined raw material is transformed to produce new virgin Tencel Lyocell fibers to make new products. This new Refibra technology gives a second life to pre and post consumer sources, by upcycling it into brand new cellulosic fiber materials. Tencel fibers with Refibra technology are identifiable owing to the innovative special identification technology designed to confirm fiber origin.

Imbotex Srl
Founded in 1955, Imbotex is a leading manufacturer of natural, recycled and technological paddings. Sustainability and innovation are the pillars of our products, from furniture and bedding to fashion and professional sports. The female leadership and the steady eye on new developments have been our hallmarks through time. In 2019 we founded ImbotexLab, NewCo of the Company, focused on advanced insulations functionality with circular economy and sustainability contents. We patented a fully vertical and mechanical process, which includes the collection of discarded virgin material scraps and yarns and is less impactful in terms of energy consumption, water usage and CO₂ emissions.
