Cone Denim has used Intrinsic Advanced Materials’ CiCLO technology in its newest collection of stretch denim. Products made with CiCLO fibers reduce the persistence of plastic microfibers in oceans and plastic accumulation in landfills and allow synthetic plastic-based fibers to behave more like natural fibers. This patent-pending technology provides the platform for making Cone’s CiCLO stretch denim eco-friendly and a more sustainable stretch solution. CiCLO stretch denims are also offered in Cone’s Distilled Indigo shades, for an even more sustainable denim. The flexibility of the technology opens many opportunities to innovate new denim constructions, creating denim with a reduced impact on the environment. Cone Denim is known for its signature S Gene stretch denims which incorporate polyester components into the stretch. S-Gene delivers stretch and recovery without sacrificing soft hand feel.
Cone Denim, based in the US, has been a leading supplier of denim fabrics to top denim apparel brands since 1891. It offers vintage, selvage, and rigid and stretch denims. Cone Denim is the first denim mill to offer a product line with CiCLO technology. Cone’s aim is to offer sustainable denim fabrics in the effort to reduce synthetic microfiber pollution in oceans and decrease the accumulation in landfills.
