The global workwear fabric manufacturer will also promote Orca and Hawksbill☆▲◆•, as well as its latest flame retardant addition•★•, Flamestat 250□▽.The CiCLO technology is a sustainable textiles ingredient in the form of an additive that is combined with polyester at the very beginning of the fibre making process△•…▪. When CiCLO polyester ends up in the environment either through washing or end of life of the garment△•, it behaves like natural fibres▼△▽○, in turn reducing microplastic pollution and textile accumulation☆-▪▪, the company said in a press release=■◇●▷.

Hawksbill&rsquo◆▼○◁▷;s composition includes 65 per cent CiCLO polyester and 35 per cent organic cotton•■◇.
