Cocona Labs, the manufacturer of temperature-regulating 37.5 technology, announced that after four years of testing, all 37.5 fibers and yarns will incorporate Enhanced Biodegradation (+EB) technology to accelerate the natural biodegradation of synthetic textiles in landfills.
Based on its lab tests, “37.5 +EB fibers are projected to biodegrade 50-to-80 percent in 80-to-100 years so that synthetic textile waste may be more quickly reclaimed.”
“Incorporating +EB technology into all 37.5 products is an important step to bringing more sustainable practices to the textile industry,” Jeff Bowman, CEO, Cocona Labs said. “Given the growing mass of synthetic materials sitting in landfills and the problems associated with it, we are excited to make this technology available at no additional charge. We believe deeply that manufacturers and suppliers need to be doing better, so we are.”
