Ingredients

· Corn Sugar - from dent corn

· Natural bacteria microorganism used for fermentation.

· Terephthalic Acid (Non-Harmful Chemical)

Step 1

Harvest fresh, dent corn and run though a wet mill to separate any sugar from the corn.

Take this processed sugar from the corn and add a fermentation starter, in this case natural bacterial microorganisms.

This non-chemical treatment allows the corn to ferment naturally and create the basis of our CornFibe™ T-Shirt.

After this process of fermentation you have created a material called Bio-PDO.

Step 2

The Bio-PDO is distilled, purified and finally dehydrated. You should be left with a clear, sticky liquid.

Take the dehydrated and distilled Bio-PDO and add Terephthalic Acid to create Sorona® pellets. The pellets under a microscope will take on a shape similar to fusilli pasta which gives the final fabric a natural stretch without the need for adding spandex or lycra.

Step 3

Melt down the Sorona® pellets into a thick, viscous liquid and push the liquid through a spinneret creating long threads - a lot like a pasta machine.

Step 4

Finally, mix these threads with the most sustainable, freshest organic cotton from Turkey for added structure and you are left with CornFibe™. A soft, breathable and naturally stretchy fabric that’s good for you and the planet.

Dress with Care.
