Renewable Resources
Produced from renewable feedstocks rather than fossil-based raw materials.
NovaPoly™ BIO
The Next Generation of
Biobased Performance.
NovaPoly™ BIO combines renewable feedstocks with advanced polymer engineering to create high-performance yarns designed for the future of circular textiles. Built for exceptional functionality, equipped for verified end-of-life biodegradation.
What is NovaPoly™ BIO?A new generation
A new generation
of biobased polymers.
NovaPoly™ BIO represents a new generation of biobased polymer technology developed to reduce dependence on fossil-based raw materials without compromising textile performance.
Produced from renewable carbon sources, NovaPoly™ BIO combines advanced material science with NBC's proprietary enzymatic additive technology to deliver high-quality fibres that support circular product design and verified biodegradation under defined environmental conditions.
The result is a material engineered for the demands of modern textile manufacturing while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Why Biobased?A fundamental
A fundamental
transformation.
The textile industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation.
As demand for sustainable materials continues to grow, renewable resources are becoming an increasingly important alternative to conventional fossil-based polymers.
NovaPoly™ BIO was developed to help manufacturers transition towards renewable feedstocks while maintaining the quality, durability and processing characteristics expected from premium performance fibres.
Renewable FeedstocksFlexible by
Flexible by
design.
NovaPoly™ BIO is designed to be flexible in its raw material sources.
Instead of relying on fossil resources, renewable sugars can be obtained from various biomass streams. This flexibility enables the use of renewable carbon without limiting future material innovation.
Potential feedstocks include
- Plant-based sugars
- Agricultural biomass
- Cellulosic materials
- Dissolved cotton pulp
- Other renewable carbohydrate sources
Designed for Circularity
Built around three key principles.
High Performance
Engineered to deliver premium textile quality throughout the product's lifetime.
End-of-Life Responsibility
Enhanced with NBC's enzymatic additive technology to support verified biodegradation under defined environmental conditions.
How NovaPoly™ BIO Works
Durable in use. Responsible at end-of-life.
Enhanced During Production
NovaPoly™ BIO is enhanced with NBC's advanced enzymatic additive during production.
Inactive During Use
Throughout the product's service life, the additive remains inactive and does not affect textile performance.
Activated at End-of-Life
Once the material reaches suitable end-of-life environments, naturally occurring microorganisms interact with the additive, initiating controlled depolymerization.
