PERTH – Australian textile innovator Nanollose has announced that its manufacturing partner Orta has successfully produced samples of denim which integrate the former’s Nullarbor fibre.
The material was supplied by Nanollose collaborator Birla Cellulose, with which it first produced fibre from microbial cellulose – a method for which they’ve filed a patent application.
Commenting on the integration of its fibre into denim, Nanollose chairman Wayne Best said: “The outcome of this first batch of fabric from Orta highlights the considerable potential of Nullarbor fibre and its versatility for use in a range of fabrics and garments.”
