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’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.
Circular manufacturing is a topic the company is currently focusing on. It is working to make sure the end product is reusable in some way, therefore reducing its impact on the environment.
