New Products from Fibres

Trailblazing innovations

Thanks to its pioneering spirit and its first-class research, Indorama Ventures has always been in the vanguard of new developments. Indorama Ventures developers have made history with trailblazing ideas and groundbreaking processes. Our flagship permanently flame retardant fibre, known as Trevira CS, is just one outstanding example.

We are proud of this historic tradition, and today retain our commitment to new product development as a core element of our company. Both alone and in close collaboration with trusted business partners, we are constantly developing innovative new products and processes at our Bobingen and Guben sites.

PLA fibres

PLA fibres from sustainable raw materials offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fibres.

PLA is a cereal-based product (generally maize).

Trevira PLA fibres are used for hygiene products and technical applications.

Success Story: PLA pillow

An excellent example of one of our especially sustainable products is a pillow by our Portuguese customer Carlos Manuel Salgado Costa, Ltd. (Analar®). The filling for the pillow consists of 95% biopolymer PLA.

PLA fibres from sustainable raw materials offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fibres. PLA is recyclable and 100% biodegradable using industrial composting.

Because of its sustainability, this pillow has qualified for our Sinfineco brand, only awarded to sustainable Trevira products.

Success Story: pluumo

AEROPOWDER, a start-up company based in London, has developed pluumo – a biodegradable, innovative packaging material based on feathers. Feathers have naturally insulating properties, and to find a fibre that would help them realise their design idea, AEROPOWDER turned to Indorama Ventures Fibers Germany GmbH. We developed special bonding fibres - bicomponent fibres consisting of two different biopolymers. This productive collaboration between Trevira and AEROPOWDER has resulted in the creation of a completely biodegradable insulating material.
