WHAT
TECHNOLOGY
A nature-based technology that reduces microplastic pollution.
An overview
BioYarn is a unique blend of organic ingredients that accelerates the biodegradation of synthetic fabrics. When incorporated into these fabric products, it triggers chemical and biological processes that enables them to biodegrade in both landfill, marine, and waste water environments.
Each year, approximately 380 million tons of textile and plastic waste are produced worldwide, filling up landfills at an alarming rate due to the slow decomposition of plastic. BioYarn was developed as a response to this growing environmental challenge.
By improving the textile manufacturing synthetic fiber and the biodegradation*process, BioYarn offers an effective solution to combat plastic pollution and promote sustainability.

Risk-free
The chemistry behind BioYarn technology is certified by Intertek, providing independent verification that BioYarn ingredients align with ecological textile manufacturing standards.
Through a rigorous multi-step process, each ingredient is analyzed to ensure compliance with statutory regulations and safety for human health. Certification standards are updated annually to reflect the latest scientific research and regulatory changes.
Additionally, BioYarn additive and its biodegradation process have been tested and proven non-toxic.
Advantages
- Simple to integrate into existing manufacturing processes
- Retains fiber integrity without compromising durability or performance
- Activated only in environments where biodegradation is possible
- Fully traceable fibers and yarns
- Safe for marine life
