About

The GLAUKOS project developed bio-based yarn from industrial organic sidestreams for clothing and fishing applications. The material is designed to reduce the persistence of plastics and microplastics associated with conventional textile products.

The yarn combines the performance needed for textile applications with improved biodegradability and recyclability, supporting more circular material use in clothing and fishing gear.

Key benefits

  • Reduces reliance on conventional fossil-based textile polymers
  • Designed to improve biodegradability and recyclability
  • Supports clothing and fishing applications

Application

  • Clothing
  • Fishing gear
