Method and technique

Kintra Fibers utilizes bio-based polymers derived from renewable resources such as corn, sugarcane, and other plant-based materials. This reduces reliance on petroleum-based materials. The production process of these polymers is designed to minimize environmental impact, including lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced energy consumption. Kintra’s manufacturing process focuses on minimizing waste. Any waste produced during the fiber manufacturing is recycled back into the production process. The production process is designed to be water-efficient, reducing the amount of water used compared to traditional fiber production methods. The fibers produced by Kintra are biodegradable and compostable under industrial composting conditions, ensuring that they do not contribute to long-term pollution. These fibers can break down into non-toxic components that can safely degrade in soil without harming the environment. Despite being sustainable, Kintra fibers do not compromise on performance. They offer high durability, comfort, and breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of clothing applications. Unlike traditional synthetic fibers, Kintra fibers do not shed microplastics when washed. This helps in reducing the microplastic pollution that ends up in waterways and oceans.
