HeiQ AeoniQ yarns are made from cellulosic biopolymers that bind carbon from the atmosphere while generating oxygen during growth. This high-performance yarn is positioned to potentially substitute synthetic filament yarns, which constitute over 60% of the global annual textile output of 108 million metric tons 2. Further, when compared to conventional cellulosic products, HeiQ AeoniQ yarns do not draw on arable land, pesticides, or fertilizer in their production.
HeiQ AeoniQ yarns are designed for cradle-to-cradle circularity and can be recycled repeatedly while maintaining consistent fiber quality. The manufacturing process is expected to consume 99% less water than cotton yarns, and HeiQ AeoniQ is designed to offer comparable performance properties to polyester, nylon, and conventional regenerated cellulose yarns.
