Cellulose-based materials from wood and cotton have found wide applications in textile industries. Plantation of wood and cotton, however, do not meet the exceedingly high demands, and this has already led to environmental issues including deforestation. In addition, there is a strong public appeal to the use of renewable resources in lieu of plant-based or tree-based cellulose materials.

NAMI’s Sustainable NanoCelluose Fiber is fabricated from spent materials such as plant husks or fruit peels in the presence of bacteria that are harmless to human. By controlling the conditions in biosynthesis, nanocelluose with high purity, high degree of crystallinity and higher mechanical strength compared to plant-based or tree-based cellulose materials can be obtained. In comparison to regenerated fibers produced from viscose process, NAMI’s Sustainable NanoCelluose Fiber is stronger and tougher fiber that can be used in athleisure wear, woven and knitted garment, potentially replacing the markets of synthetic fibers, while leveraging the comfort characteristics of cellulosic fibers.

Major Benefits

• At least 20% stronger than regenerated fibers
• Retain softness and comfort as of regenerated fibers
• Made from plant husks or fruit peel via simple biosynthetic process

Application Areas

• Athleisure wear, woven, knitted garment, etc.
