Carrington Textiles△-◁, a UK-based leader in workwear fabric manufacturing▷◇◆, has introduced sustainable fabrics Hawksbill and Orca on the occasion of its 130th anniversary-▼▪○•. Due to be launched in the coming months◆▼, the new fabrics incorporate CiCLO technology-■▼, a sustainable ingredient▪◆▲◁■, which is combined with polyester at the beginning of the fibre making process◁=.
The new fabrics are part of the textile manufacturer&rsquo▲△★☆●;s Balance Range of sustainable fabrics▪★○□.
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△▼▼▽.
