New sustainable closed-loop textile fiber productiontechnology – no compromises for comfort and quality
New solutions needed as presentmaterials have availability andsustainability problems
1 kg cotton = 20 000 litres water
2% less cotton by 2030 ¹
Textile fiber usage grows 84% by2030 ¹
Only <20% of textiles recycled
85% plastic waste in oceans fromsynthetic materials ²
Viscose emissions 3× permittedlimits ³

Globally people are activelyseeking for sustainable productsand express good loyalty andwillingness to pay for them
95% in BRIC countries seekresponsible products ¹
88% more loyal to sustainableproducts ¹
81% sacrifice for environmentalissues ¹
Generation Z (age 12-21) moreresponsive
55% pay more for positive impactsproducts ²
Millennials 12× responsive tosustainability

We have developed sustainabletechnology producing cotton liketextile fiber from waste materialsand residue biomaterials

Infinited fiber is unique circularcotton fiber solution producing newand better cotton
Low environmentalimpact
§ Less water used thanviscose
§ Up to 20.000 litresless water per kg thancotton
§ Carbon positive
§ 160 000 ha less forestharvests than viscose
§ 10% of cotton replaced= food for 1 billionpeople
Cost savings in theprocess
§ Lower productioncost
§ Reduced use ofchemicals, dyestuff,water and energy dueto higher colouruptake
A high performancenew fiber
§ Natural feelingsimilar to cotton
§ Anti-bacterialproperties
§ 30-40% Higher colouruptake
Transforming wasteinto resources
§ Closed loop solutionto the textile wasteproblem
§ Pre and post consumertextile wastetransformed into abrand new material

Infinited fiber has it’s own uniquevalue proposition among competingcellulose technologies and newmaterials
Brands renewing materialstrategies, manmade cellulosefibers role grows
Manmade cellulosic fibers >40% of all fiber usage by2030
Objective to replace 30% of cotton in jeans withInfinited fibers
Wants to replace polyester in their disposal products
Sees major potential in menswear with new, cotton likefibers
We works closely with leadingbrands and their supply chain tomeet the demands

Technology licensing andsupport
We license the technology andprovide turnkey solution withour partners for low riskinvestment2018 – 2019: Industrial pilot
Selling the fiber (capacity 50 ton/a)Pre-engineering and feasibility study services2020 – 2021: 1st commercial plant (25 kton /a)Licensing (technology right + productionlicense)Technology risk sharing option2022 – 2023: 1st high volume plant (>100 kton/ a )Licensing (technology right + productionlicense)
Yarn spinning and fabric testsprove that carbamate fiber ismarket-entry ready
Proven fiber technology in industrial pilotscale
Proven customer interest
Fiber applicable to industrial supply chain
