Biofeel Eleven is a company specializing in the biomass energy sector. The company is committed to producing sustainable biomass energy from renewable resources such as lignocellulose, waste, etc. to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote environmental protection and sustainable development.
Since its introduction to the market in March this year, Biofeel Eleven has quickly ranked among the top 10 new yarn products, demonstrating its superior technical and environmental performance.
This natural yarn comes from a small, non-edible legume grown in the semi-arid soils of India that does not compete with food production. Italy's RadiciGroup converts this oil into a biopolymer to craft the unique Biofeel Eleven yarn.
This yarn has remarkable characteristics including low water absorption, high brightness and enhanced strength properties.
These properties make it possible to create fabrics that are durable and comfortable - a crucial combination for sportswear and beyond.
