Eco-Friendly Soy Textiles Explained

Welcome to the world of eco-friendly soy textiles! Our innovative soy fabrics are produced with a commitment to sustainability, utilizing organic chemicals that meet the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. What does this mean for you? It means our textiles are safe, environmentally friendly, and 100% recyclable.

The remarkable processing method we use is a 'closed-loop' system. This means that all the chemicals involved are recycled and reused throughout the manufacturing process, significantly reducing waste and environmental impact.

What is Soy Fabric? This eco-friendly fabric is derived from food production waste, specifically the hulls of soybeans. Often referred to as "vegetable cashmere," soy fabric is incredibly soft, easy to care for, and absorbs dyes beautifully, requiring less dye-stuffs compared to conventional fabrics.

Advantages of Soy Textiles

  • Eco Print: Soy textiles are made from the by-products of the soy food industry. As a renewable resource, soy helps minimize environmental damage. Plus, its biodegradability means that when your items reach the end of their life cycle, they can be composted rather than contributing to landfill waste.
  • Feel of Fabric: Soy clothing is light, soft, and drapes beautifully on the body. Many people find that it feels even better than cashmere because it's simpler to maintain.
  • Moisture Absorbent: This fabric has fantastic moisture management abilities, allowing perspiration to evaporate, making it ideal for warm weather wear.
  • Anti-Bacterial: Thanks to its moisture management properties, soy textiles also exhibit anti-bacterial qualities, keeping you feeling fresh.
  • UV Resistant: Finally, soy fabric provides UV resistance, helping to protect you from sun exposure.

Disadvantages

  • While soy fabric has many advantages, it's worth noting that it is not as strong as cotton or hemp.

Caring for Soy Textiles

Caring for soy fabric is a breeze! Simply machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. You won't need chlorine bleach or fabric softener - our fabrics are naturally soft! Skip the dryer and lay flat to dry. If ironing is necessary, use a low, no-steam setting to maintain the fabric's beautiful drape.
