Orta has developed a new generation of waste-free, bio-designed denims. Bio Ratio is crafted with fermented bio-made synthetic fiber that is waste-free and climate-friendly.

This selection of fabrics is made with biologically recycled cellulose from a textile waste cocktail of 20 per cent material waste together with 80 per cent wood pulp and uses bacteria for processing.For this collection the coatings the denim specialist uses are made from industrial wood waste, and its new palette of Lego-inspired hues are made from mineral-based dyes.

For the Golden Ratio denim selection, the company uses textile waste as a portion of feedstock for viscose, reducing the amount of wood pulp needed to create LivaReviva viscose. Thanks to this new achievement, Orta has achieved a new threshold for zero-virgin cotton using only pre-consumer recycled and reclaimed fiber waste, introducing a new generation of fibers of eco-friendly elastane, viscose and 100 per cent post-consumer recycled PET. In particular, it has engineered Torque, a stretch fiber and yarn technology that has zero elastane or PET and is made with 20 per cent recycled fibers.

Orta’s collection offers a greater selection of products focused on sustainability and regenerative cotton denims. Orta’s innovations improve biodiversity, contribute to water availability and quality, achieve healthy soils, support climate resilience, and improve livelihoods.
