Yes, Nereus® Bio supports chemical recycling with up to 95% yield as documented in independent tests.
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.
No. Nereus® Bio fibers in products do not biodegrade during usage. Biodegration occurs only when fibers enter environments with active microbes, such as landfills or oceans.
No, the fibers share the same characteristics and performance as regular PET fibers with the same output and same whiteness, and it blends well with natural fibers.
No, the fibers only biodegrade in environments with naturally occuring microbes, such as landfills, oceans, and waster water. Nereus® Bio comes in normal bales and has a normal shelf life with no need for special care or treatment during storage and transportation.
Yes. Nereus® Bio can be added to any polyester fiber application, including wadding, filtration, automotive, acoustics, medical, and hygiene products.
Before initiating full production, a sample is sent to 3rd party lab for an accelerated test that measures the initial behavior of the fiber. After the QC test for up to 90 days, we can verify that the technology works and the staple fibers are approved.
Yes! Nereus® Bio is already available globally, both virgin and recycled, through a controlled supply chain. There is full capacity and delivery guarantee.
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 optimises 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.
