TEL-AVIV, Israelâ May 11, 2021 â A new collaboration has been established between Avgol®, producer of spunlaid nonwoven fabrics, and Algaeingâ¢, the textile innovation company that invented and patented algae bio-based formulations for colorants and fibers.
The parties will first focus on the use of Algaeingâ¢âs unique environmental solution for modifying the aesthetic qualities of materials with Avgolâs ongoing commitment to sustainable polyolefin based spunbond and meltblown fabrics.
Algaeingâ¢âs technologies utilize various algae species to produce a wide range of appealing colors, many of which replicate the colors used in nonwoven fabrics today. The benefits of using an algae bio-source go far beyond the removal of chemically synthesized colorants, and include synergistic benefits of vastly reduced water consumption, chemical/fertilizer use, and carbon dioxide emissions.
