RDD Textiles has just introduced a new fibre, the O/Range Citrus Textiles by RDD, which results from the processing of high quality cellulose, extracted from orange remains.
Described as “soft, with a silky touch, light, and able to be used alone or mixed with other fibres”, the goal of this yarn is to, once again, reuse as much as possible the waste generated by the food industry.
This is not the first novelty presented by the Valérius Group involving fruit. A few months ago, RDD Textiles also presented a natural dyeing process made from blueberries and other fruits and vegetables. The extracted pigment can then be applied to raw cotton, fabrics or finished products.
PLNTFIBER & FRUTFIBER by PANGAIA, a new fabric made from banana peel and pineapple that looks and feels like cotton and co-created with RDD, is another example.
