The textile industry is increasingly striving to find new fibers that are more environmentally friendly, sustainable, responsible, and innovative. This desire has led to the rise of an innovative fiber called paper fiber, a cellulosic raw material.
Textile companies have been looking for more fibers made from cellulose, as they are biodegradable. Thus, cellulosic fibers such as paper fiber, made from wood pulp, are appearing on the market.
Paper fiber, known as KAMIITO, is a traditional Japanese yarn, of high quality, made by hand. This fiber besides being environmentally friendly is a lightweight raw material with low hairiness, high absorbency, good water resistance, and is easy to dry.
The main raw material of this fiber is a small Japanese tree called “Abaca”. This tree grows for 1 to 3 years and is characterized by its high resistance.
The production process of this natural fiber does not use harmful substances for the environment, and it is biodegradable and reusable.
It is a resistant, light, and homogeneous raw material that can be easily mixed with cotton.
