Beaver Paper Group, Atlanta, recently launched its new TexStyles NatureSeries family of graphic fabrics.
NatureSeries is a revolutionary line of sublimation fabric made with cutting-edge sustainable CiCLO technology, according to the company. In ideal conditions, fabrics made with CiCLO will biodegrade at the end of their lifecycle within three to five years as opposed to 60 years for traditional synthetics in the same conditions, including recyclables.
Beaver Paper’s fabric manager, Jeff Mills, spent almost two years researching and developing the NatureSeries Soft Knit fabric to help mitigate the negative effects of synthetic textiles and raise the bar on sustainability.
“My goals in creating NatureSeries Soft Knit were to take the most popular fabric used in the industry and make it truly sustainable, and to challenge the industry to think about sustainable standards for end-of-life products that end up in our landfills,” says Mills, TexStyles product manager.
NatureSeries Soft Knit, made with CiCLO fibers, looks and feels like traditional synthetics with the same high performance and durable characteristics but behaves more like natural fibers if they end up in the environment, according to the company.
“It’s exciting to be launching our NatureSeries® line that highlights our commitment to producing high-level sustainable products,” says Tobias Sternbeck, CEO of Beaver Paper. “I believe our new NatureSeries fabric goes beyond anything in the industry today, in reducing synthetic textile pollution.”
