A soft, breathable fibre with a silk-like feel derived from cotton by-products

about
Cupro

Cupro is a regenerated cellulose fibre made from cotton linter waste, known for its smooth, silky texture and breathable comfort similar to silk

Cupro is derived from cotton linter, a by-product of the cotton industry, and is often marketed as a responsible choice. However, transforming that linter into cupro involves toxic chemicals such as copper sulfate, caustic soda, and ammonia. The process also requires significant water and energy inputs. While cupro can be sourced from closed-loop systems and suppliers using proper chemical management, it presents high social and environmental risks.
