A technology that produces cellulosic and ecological fiber textiles and non-woven fibers from paper.
Due to growing population and prosperity, today’s global use of cellulosic textile fibers is expected to double from 30 to 60 million tons by 2030.
Infinited Fiber Company has developed a process technology that can turn textile and paper waste into new fibers for the textile industry - not just once, but infinitely, with no decrease in the quality of the fiber. They provide technology to chemically regenerate Infinited Fibers for the fashion and technical textile industries with the ability to replace 100% viscose fibers, representing a 6 billion USD global market, CAGR 10%. Infinited Fiber Company can also replace cotton in several applications. The technology has major cost and ecological advantages and fits any existing pulp and viscose fiber plant. Infinited Fiber Company’s business approach is to license the technology.
