More than 100 million tons of polyester fibres are produced every year, which take centuries to degrade in a natural environment.
73% of waste garments are sent for incineration or land-fill.
Up to 83% of tap water samples contain micro plastics.
Up to 35% of the global micro plastics in the environment come from synthetic textile products.

The BPI Certification program is a third-party verification of ASTM standards for compostable products in North America.
Certificate No. 10529267-1
DIN CERTCO from Germany is an independent certifier of compostable products.
Registration No. 9K0130
The Seedling logo is a registered trademark owned by European Bioplastics (i.e. EUBP).
Registration No. 7W0801
The BPI Certification Mark indicates third-party verification of compostability for consumers, end-users, and composters to use when determining whether or not a product or package is compostable.
NOTE: Please make sure your final product, say a garment, is BPI certified before you use the BPI Certification Mark for consumer-end promotions, although CELYS™ fibre, as an ingredient fibre, has obtained BPI certification.
DIN CERTCO certifies biodegradable products in accordance with DIN EN 13432 and, if applicable, other national and international standards, and award the two internationally recognized certification marks: its own "DIN-Geprüft industrially compostable" test mark and the “Seedling" compostability mark of European Bioplastics.
The Seedling logo proves that a product is certified industrially compostable according to the European standard EN13432. According to EUBP, ‘bioplastic products that are certified for industrial compostability are fully biodegradable’.
The unique molecular structure of CELYS™ polyester creates a cottony touch, and is softer than normal PET.
The special chemical structure of CELYS™ polyester leads to a lower tensile strength than normal PET fibre. This creates a natural solution to the anti-pilling concerns for normal PET fibre.
Unlike normal PET fibre, CELYS™ fibre can be dyed at 100°C, either through cationic dyes, or medium and low energy disperse dyes.
As a polyester fibre, CELYS™ maintains good quick-dry performance, and it is even enhanced by the many natural channels with faster vaporisation.
There are many naturally formed channels inside CELYS™ polyester fibre, which can quickly carry away moisture from your skin for great breathability.
The hydrophilic groups in the CELYS™ fibre structure make it absorb water instantly. The moisture regain is about 4 times that of normal PET fibre.
