Biosynthetics - Replacement for Traditional Synthetic Fibres
Besides cellulose fibres, bio-based polymer fibres ("biosynthetics") are an excellent option to reduce fossil fibres in textiles. Biosynthetics offer a powerful alternative to traditional synthetic fibres, bringing both performance and technical properties that make them drop-in replacements. Derived wholly or partially from natural, renewable sources like lactic acids, sugar beet, sugarcane or wood, biosynthetics represent a bio-based option compared to fossil-based counterparts. In a special session “Biosynthetics - Replacing Traditional Synthetic Fibres”, experts will explore the latest advances, challenges and opportunities in the field. Discussing innovative approaches like biosynthetics is essential to drive sustainable transformation within the fashion and textile industries.

Biosynthetics is one of many applications of bio-based polymers. In general, 17 bio-based polymers are currently commercially available and amounted to over 5 million tonnes of installed capacities in 2024. Ten of these bio-based polymers are used as biosynthetics, resulting in the production of over one million tonnes of biosynthetics.The session will give an overview of biosynthetics in textiles and present some practical examples. |
