Sustainable Biodegradable Yarns

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction to Eco-Friendly Solutions

In response to global demand for sustainable textiles, our Biodegradable Yarn series offers a viable alternative to traditional synthetics. These yarns are engineered to maintain high performance during product life but break down significantly faster in specific landfill conditions compared to standard polyester.

We utilize advanced polymer technology to ensure that moving towards eco-friendly materials does not mean compromising on yarn strength, dyeability, or processability in your manufacturing lines. It is the ideal choice for brands looking to improve their environmental footprint and meet new regulatory standards.

Material Specifications

Property Details
Material Composition Modified Biodegradable Polyester (PET) or PLA blends
Yarn Count Range 50D - 300D (Filament); Ne 20s - Ne 60s (Spun)
Filament Type FDY, DTY
Tenacity > 3.5 cN/dtex (Comparable to standard PET)
Biodegradation Rate Dependent on environment (e.g., ASTM D5511 anaerobic conditions tests show significant accelerated degradation over 1-3 years compared to centuries for standard plastic).

Key Applications

Due to its versatile nature, biodegradable yarn is suitable for various sectors prioritizing end-of-life solutions:

  • Fast Fashion & Apparel: T-shirts, sportswear, and casual wear where product lifecycles are shorter.
  • Disposable Hygiene: Wipes, medical textiles, and sanitary products.
  • Home Textiles: Bedding and curtains for eco-conscious consumer brands.
  • Packaging Materials: Textile-based bags and wraps meant for disposal.

Core Advantages

Switching to our biodegradable options provides distinct competitive edges:

  • Environmental Compliance: Meet increasingly stringent global regulations regarding plastic waste and textile sustainability.
  • Brand Value Enhancement: Market your final products as eco-friendly, appealing to growing consumer awareness.
  • Drop-in Solution: Designed to be processed on existing knitting and weaving machinery with minimal adjustments.
  • Reduced Microplastic Impact: Helps mitigate the long-term issue of persistent microfibers in the environment.

Commercial Terms

We offer flexible terms for international B2B partners:

  • Payment Terms: T/T (30% deposit, balance before shipment) or L/C at sight for qualified orders.
  • Shipping Terms: FOB Shanghai/Ningbo ports. CIF/CFR options available upon request to your designated port.
  • Packaging: Standard export neutral carton packing on pallets. Custom branding on cones available for OEM orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: How long does the yarn take to biodegrade?
  • A: The timeframe varies greatly depending on the environment (temperature, moisture, microbial activity). In industrial composting or active landfill conditions (anaerobic), significant degradation can occur within 1-3 years, whereas standard polyester takes centuries. We can provide specific test reports like ASTM D5511 upon request.
  • Q: Does the biodegradable feature affect the shelf life of the yarn or the final garment?
  • A: No. The biodegradation process is triggered only under specific conditions found in landfills or compost environments (high microbial activity and moisture). During normal warehousing, manufacturing, and consumer wear, the product remains stable and durable.
