PERFORMANCE DAYS  FOCUS TOPIC November 2022: The Journey to carbon neutrality – TIME TO SCORE

• synthetic fibers with variants made of recycled polyester, recycled polyamide and polypropylene, saving up to 30-40% CO₂ emissions
• the use of biobased synthetic fibers such as those made from castor oil is exciting as we see significant CO₂ reductions. Work is also currently underway to produce biopolymers from plant waste (biomass) in the future.
  
• natural cellulosic based fibers such as Tencel™, hemp, organic cotton, Naia spun fiber or their recycled versions
• wool and recycled wool
