ISPO Textrends Award For Radicigroup’s Biofeel Eleven Yarn
Biofeel Eleven, the 100 percent nylon yarn produced from natural sources and launched a few months ago by RadiciGroup, won the ISPO Textrends award in the Fibres and Insulation category.
The award curated by a jury of experts, rewards innovative trends in the textile and apparel sectors.
This award is given away as part of the ISPO fair in Munich, dedicated in particular to the fabrics and sportswear sector.
According to RadiciGroup, after its market launch last March, Biofeel Eleven is already in the ‘Top Ten’ of new products in the yarn sector, thanks to its technical and environmental performance.
This special yarn of natural origin comes from a small inedible bean grown in India in semi-arid soils that are not competing with food production.
“These beans yield a special oil ideal for obtaining biopolymers that are then processed into yarn at RadiciGroup production facility in Italy,” the company added.
The yarn has special characteristics, such as low water absorption, increased lightness and improved strength properties.
‘This means being able to produce fabrics that are both durable and comfortable to the touch and skin, fundamental requirements also in sportswear,” the Italian nylon yarn producer stated.
