Sorona® Performance Yarn
Crafted with a blend of renewable corn-based ingredients and traditional materials, our Sorona® performance stretch yarn is certified by USDA as a BioBased Product and recognized by Bluesign, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and the Sustainable Apparel Coalition. Enjoy softness, exceptional stretch, and shape recovery in our swimwear collection, with the added benefit of recyclability in standard polyester recycling facilities, providing a closed-loop approach to textile sustainability. Created by Dupont, Sorona® Elasterell-P is 37% derived from corn sugar and spandex-free. Elasterell-P is a specialty polyester fiber alternative to spandex, allowing Sorona® to be mechanically recycled. This yarn is designed to sustain exposure to UV rays, heat, and chlorine. We are currently exploring options for a take back and recycling program.
From the CFDA: "The process begins by harvesting crops and then extracting sugar or glucose from them. Microorganisms are added to the glucose to begin a fermentation process (similar to the process of alcohol). Fermentation replaces chemical synthesis, producing PDO (1,3-Propanediol) in a natural way. TPA (terephthalic acid) is added to the Bio-PDO, creating a molecular bond. The result is Sorona®: a revolutionary, high-performance polymer whose positive impact is felt by yarn spinners, manufacturers, designers, and consumers across the globe."
