Fibres with inherent elasticity from natural or regenerated sources

about
Natural Stretch

Natural stretch fibres combine inherent elasticity in natural or regenerated fibres to offer comfort and fit benefits without synthetics

Natural stretch relies on fibre properties, mechanical innovation, or fabric construction techniques (such as rib knitting or weaving) to provide elasticity without the use of synthetic fibres. Materials like Coreva™, a stretch denim incorporating natural rubber, demonstrate how innovation can deliver performance.

Partially bio-based fibres, such as Sorona, present improved options compared to petroleum-based elastane but are not fully circular. The most responsible solutions come from 100% natural, biodegradable blends that offer stretch without leaving a lasting environmental impact.
