Fibers & nonwoven
Revolutionising fibers with Biobased solutions
Futeon™ is transforming the textile industry with its compatibility with the most widely used textile and nonwoven conversion technologies. From the delicate weave of tea bags and coffee pads to the robust fabric of medical gowns, personal hygiene products, clothes or fabrics, Futeon™ is an adaptable and sustainable choice compared to traditional fossil-based polymers.
Futeon™ PLA fibres can be blended with other natural materials’ fibers such as cotton, wool, or cellulose, creating 100% biobased solutions that do not compromise on performance and aesthetic for the textile industry.

The Strenghts of Futeon™
Higher resistance to bacterial proliferation compared to other traditional plastics used in textiles
Derived from renewable resources, Futeon™ helps reduce the environmental impact and lowers CO₂ emissions compared to fossil-based plastics
Breathable for comfort and performance, with low odor retention
Futeon™ PLA can also be industrially composted: ideal for specific applications with high organic content (e.g. diapers, tea bags…)
Lower flammability than in other traditional plastics used in textiles
Textiles are notoriously difficult to recycle, notably due to mixed materials. Futeon™ PLA overcomes these challenges through chemical recycling, enabling circularity where traditional fibers fall short
Soft to the touch and hypoallergenic, Futeon™ is ideal for skin-contact applications like personal care, hygiene, and apparel.
Futeon™ can be blended with other biopolymers to tailor its properties for specific applications, and can also be combined with cotton, wool, or cellulose for 100% biobased, high-performance solutions
