Kintra fibers

Kintra materials perform like traditional technical yarns, but degrade like any natural fiber. Traditional fossil fuel-based synthetics represent two-thirds of the global fiber market. The production of petrochemical-based polyester (PET) alone accounts for more annual oil consumption than the entire country of Spain. At Kintra, we envision a future for the fashion industry that is free from fossil fuels. Our inputs are derived from sugar instead of petroleum, and we design our materials to fit industrial composting. From our perspective, Kintra materials are “leased” from nature to humans and formulated to return to the soil from which they originate.
