CornLeaf’s high sustainability performance makes it the ideal product for all applications and markets that are highly sensitive to environmental issues.
The wide range of yarn types and colours means that this product can be used in many different fields: from furnishings to apparel, technical and medical.
Furnishings: CornLeaf is perfect for manufacturing eco-sustainable components with an eye on energy savings and freedom from oil derivatives. Since its performance is comparable with synthetic fibres, CornLeaf can be used for any items that need to meet the standards normally required in this market. Furthermore, owing to CornLeaf’s bacteriostatic effect, fabrics made with the yarn are safe for environments such as hospital rooms.
Apparel: When blended with natural fibres such as cotton, CornLeaf improves the performance and fit of the finished garment. Fabrics made with CornLeaf can meet technical specifications for elasticity and comfort that cannot be attained by cut-fibres alone. The yarn’s bacteriostatic functionality is a key advantage for uses that require direct skin contact.
Technical: Speciality fabrics for industrial uses that offer high technical performance, as well as biodegradability, are more and more in demand. The disposal of fabric produced with synthetic fibres also has a cost factor. Therefore, CornLeaf is perfectly suited to these needs: it is a readily available and effective solution.
In addition, CornLeaf is used in many other specific market segments for the manufacture of products that fully meet customer specifications. Currently, the development of shopping bag production is underway. Other applications – computer bags and mobile phone cases, for example – are related to the electronics field, a sector where the use of eco-sustainable products is a key element in corporate production philosophy. Not to mention the fact that, today more that ever, the need to boost one’s green corporate image is becoming a “must” in the distribution and retail sectors. This strategy is now possible thanks to the availability of sustainable auxiliary materials.
When the goal is sustainability, CornLeaf is the ideal solution.
