Noble Biomaterials teams up with Lenzing for new textiles

18/07/2017
Textile technology provider Noble Biomaterials has partnered with cellulosic fibre producer Lenzing to create a range of high-performance textiles that use Noble’s silver-based anti-odour technology. 

The collaboration will offer activewear brands “a more natural textile alternative to polyester”, Noble has said. It added that the two companies will be able to “provide an optimum textile blend for active-lifestyle applications that can be washed less frequently and maintain freshness.”

“Lenzing and Noble share a rich history in fibre and textile development, and a deep commitment to sustainability,” explained Joel Furey, founder and chief commercial officer of Noble. “We also share a vison of consistently innovating new textiles and technologies that improve people’s lives every day.”

Lenzing will introduce the new fabric collections at the forthcoming Texworld USA exhibition in New York City (July 17-19).
