CiCLO® Textiles

CiCLO® Textiles is a startup that focuses on reducing the persistence of synthetic microfiber pollution. The company developed CiCLO® technology which is a scientifically proven textile ingredient designed to mitigate synthetic microfiber pollution, the most prevalent form of microplastic pollution found in environments across the globe. The technology allows fibers that end up fugitive in the environment to behave like natural fibers such as wool, and microorganisms can completely break down CiCLO® polyester and nylon, leaving behind only basic natural elements. The chemistry used in CiCLO® technology is OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified, confirming its safety for use in sustainable textiles. The company upholds quality assurance and traceability by selling CiCLO® technology exclusively to its global network of CiCLO® Certified Manufacturers. CiCLO® polyester and nylon are available globally through CiCLO® Certified Manufacturers, making the solution accessible and affordable for brands everywhere. The company operates under Intrinsic Advanced Materials, a joint venture between Intrinsic Textiles Group, a startup based in Silicon Valley, and Parkdale Advanced Materials, the innovative fiber and yarns division of global textiles giant, Parkdale Mills. As a manufacturing startup founded in 2017, CiCLO® Textiles aims to make the greatest impact possible toward mitigating synthetic microfiber pollution with its innovative technology and global partnerships.
