Sorona promotes partners through Preferred Mill Network
06/01/2022
Sorona is made from 37% plant-based materials, and offers softness, stretch recovery, crease recovery, and resistance to UV and chlorine damage.
Fabrics made from Sorona polymer can be dyed and heat-set at much lower temperatures than polyester, according to the company.
Alexa Raab, head of brand and communications at Sorona owner DuPont, said: “Through the recent COP26 Climate Change Summit we’ve seen how much work there is to do in all corners of industry. We’re taking this step with the Preferred Mill Network and Common Thread Fabric Certification Programme to further our commitment to transparency and ease of access to sustainable fabrics throughout the value chain.”
Sorona has certified 350 fabric mills and shipped hangtags for more than 43.7 million garments. The most certified option is Sorona Agile, a comfort fabric used for spandex replacement in activewear.
To qualify for certification, fabric mills must submit fabric swatches to a DuPont-approved lab for testing.
