Yes, Nereus® Bio can be chemically recycled and fits perfectly in a circular lifespan, and Nereus® Bio maintain a 95% yield rate through the chemical recycling process.

Polyester is a polymer, and therefore the end product could be considered as a “plastic”. This means that different measures from Single-Use Plastic Directive can be applied to your product.

Again, it’s a no. Nereus® Bio fibers in products do not biodegrade during usage. Only microplastics that leave products ending up in landfills or oceans will biodegrade, so there really is no special care required.

No, Nereus® Bio has the same characteristics and performance as regular PET fibers with the same output and same whiteness, and it blends well with natural fibers.

No, Nereus® Bio only biodegrades in environments with naturally occurring microbes, such as landfills, oceans, and wastewater. Nereus® Bio comes in normal bales and has a normal shelf life with no need for special care or treatment during storage and transportation.

Nereus® Bio can be added to any type of polyester and fabric fiber, from wadding, filtration, and automotive to acoustics, medical, and hygiene products.

YES! Nereus® Bio is already available from several locations worldwide, both virgin and recycled from a controlled supply chain. There is full capacity and delivery guarantee. And that’s why we can start fixing polyester right now.

Yes, we are already commercial with BICO (low melting fibers), solid, and hollow fibers – and have no capacity issues.

Polyester is a complex molecule that naturally occuring microbes have a hard time digesting, why standard polyester does not biodegrade. Nereus® Bio optimizes the polyester or fabric fiber with a simple sugar, making the fibers easier and more pleasant for microbes to digest. Essentially, we make your fiber a Boston Cream Donut for microbes.
