Insempra And Fibers365 Announce Successful Testing Of Second-Generation Feedstock To Manufacture Fermentation-Based Products

MUNICH — May 25, 2023 — Insempra, a biology-powered company enabling businesses to make superior products with nature, and Fibers365, a company offering chemical-free processed fibers and substrates from annual plants, today announce that they are working together to develop and scale sustainable second-generation (2G) feedstock for the commercial production of fermentation-based ingredients.

2G feedstocks, also known as lignocellulosic feedstocks, are a key area of research and development in biotechnology as the industry is facing a growing need in the application of these in fermentation processes. Fast moving consumer good companies, for example, are demanding sustainably procured raw materials. By utilizing agricultural residues, 2G feedstock has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil-based and de-forestation-based ingredients and consumer products. Insempra has built a broad toolbox to use feedstocks derived from agricultural wastes and also upcoming intermediates originating from carbon capture methods.

The Fibers365 patented, modular, farm level Steam Fiber Plants allow the competitive extraction of functional cellulosic fibers, lignin and sugars from multi feedstock non-wood biomass. The sugars, currently used for the generation of biogas, can be further valorized by producing high-value products via fermentation for various industrial applications.

“By working together with Insempra, we are combining our unique 2G feedstock derived from agricultural side streams with the highly advanced fermentation technology platform needed to scale and make this sustainable feedstock accessible to broader applications.” said Stefan Radlmayr, Founder and Managing Partner of Fibers365.

One of the primary challenges with 2G feedstocks is the intrinsic material stability of lignocellulosic materials. Unlike first-generation feedstocks (e.g., those derived from beets, corn, sugarcane), which contain easily accessible sugars, lignocellulosic biomass is composed of complex structures that require pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis to release the sugars. Developing efficient and cost-effective pre-treatment methods and robust enzymatic cocktails for biomass deconstruction is a key challenge in the adoption of 2G feedstocks at scale.

Insempra has successfully tested Fibers365’s 2G feedstock derived from agricultural waste streams (e.g., wheat straw) with its proprietary fermentation technology platform. Insempra is using this technology for the development of speciality lipids for application in the beauty and personal care as well as nutraceuticals and food industries. In addition to speciality lipids, Insempra is also working on the production of protein fibers and high-value functional ingredients with 2G feedstocks from agricultural waste.

“Using second-generation feedstocks in our manufacturing processes has always been one of our priorities as a biology-powered business. We are tremendously excited about the potential this technology not only has for our businesses, but for the whole industry.” said Jens Klein, CEO & Founder of Insempra.

By working together, Insempra and Fibers365 tackle the challenge of scaling and aim to maximize the potential of 2G feedstocks to support their mission to manufacture at scale in collaboration with nature, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and circular future.

New Brand Pinebury Utilizes Nuyarn® Merino For Their Spring/Summer Cycling And Active Outdoor Collection

PORTLAND, ME. — May 24, 2023 — A new challenger brand in the cycling and active outdoor market is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated launch of their Spring/Summer Collection. Rooted in New England’s rich cycling and outdoor heritage, manufactured in the United States, the collection is built with the innovative Nuyarn® merino, a bike industry first in cycling jerseys and apparel.

Pinebury is an independent Maine brand that makes technical apparel domestically using natural fibers for individuals dedicated to pursuing outdoor adventures at any pace or path, in any type of weather. Pinebury gear is inspired by a love of four-season outdoor pursuits and all the activities that are natural to Maine coastlines, mountains and trails.

Pinebury’s Spring/Summer Collection presents a meticulously designed range of cycling and multi-sport apparel that harnesses the power of cutting-edge Nuyarn® technology. Nuyarn® drafts superfine merino wool with a high-performance nylon filament — this breeds ultra-lightweight and durable fabric. Because Nuyarn® is drafted and not “twisted”, it absorbs better in the vapor state, managing moisture more akin to as it does in its loftier fiber state (or on the sheep’s back), Nuyarn Merino is 5x faster drying, 8.8x more durable and has 85% more elasticity/stretch than conventional ring or core-spun merino (industry standard).

The Pinebury collection includes road and gravel cycling jerseys, high-performance short and long-sleeve multi-sport tops, socks and arm warmers, all tailored for optimal fit, freedom of movement, and breathability, seamlessly incorporating these qualities into their collection using Nuyarn® merino. In a departure from traditional gender categorization, Pinebury’s collection is non-gendered, allowing customers to choose based on their measurements for the best fit.

“Pinebury is dedicated to continuous innovation while staying true to the timeless relationship of outdoor sport and Maine’s rich sporting heritage, two elements that are greatly important to me. Tried and tested by a tight-knit community of year-round cyclists, runners and snow-sport obsessives, I feel confident that as our community grows, Pinebury apparel will reach “essential” status among those that value their time outdoors and the high quality gear that makes it all possible.” expressed Kyle Rancourt, Founder and President of Pinebury. “For our initial launch collection, Nuyarn emerged as the ideal natural materials partner, they are surpassing all other merino and natural fiber technologies in terms of performance and longevity. The potential of this technology is boundless and we are merely scratching the surface of what it can achieve. This is just the beginning for us.”

Thermore Ecodown Fibers Ocean: From The Mountains To The Oceans

MILAN, Italy — May 25, 2023 — How can a product designed for mountain sports have a positive impact on our oceans? Everything on our wonderful planet is connected so here’s how the thermal insulation experts of Thermore are helping to make oceans cleaner. Thermore’s commitment to clean oceans has been a priority for quite some time. For instance, the use of microfibers was banned from all Thermore products as microfibers are known to pollute lakes and oceans as well as contaminate the food we eat.

Similarly, ocean bound plastics also constitute a big risk for our environment; they make up as much as 80% of plastic pollution in our oceans. This year, Thermore releases the first thermal insulation made from 100% ocean bound raw materials (PET bottles).

The new product is called Ecodown Fibers Ocean, it is extremely soft and highly resistant to clumping, just like all Ecodown Fibers. It is Ocean Cycle-certified and made at Thermore’s state-of-the-art production site in Hong Kong.

THERMORE ECODOWN FIBERS OCEAN – The soft touch

  • super silky touch
  • made from ocean bound plastics
  • unique multi-shape structure
  • highly resistant to clumping
  • animal free
  • 100% recycled from pet bottles

Based in Milan – Italy, Thermore is specialized in research, development, production and marketing of high quality thermal insulation for apparel. Through its global sales network and its productions in the Far East and in Europe, Thermore caters to the best brands in the outerwear industry. Thermore was the first company to launch a sustainable insulation in the 80s and is now highly concentrated on eco-friendly innovation, mostly using polyester fibers recycled from PET bottles.

Woodspin Ramps Up Production Of Sustainable, Wood-Based SPINNOVA® Fibre At New Zero-Emission Factory

JYVÄSKYLÄ, Finland — May 25, 2023 — Finnish sustainable textile pioneer Spinnova and the world’s largest pulp producer Suzano have officially opened their first commercial-scale facility producing wood-based SPINNOVA® fibre. Operated by Woodspin – Spinnova and Suzano’s joint venture – the plant will produce 1,000 tonnes of sustainable, recyclable and fully biodegradable textile fibre from responsibly-grown wood each year. This facility marks the first industrial operations Suzano has outside of Brazil. Woodspin has also announced plans to open a second site to scale production further. Their aim is to build one million tonnes of wood-based SPINNOVA® fibre annual production capacity by 2033.

Christian Orglmeister, Executive Director New Business at Suzano said:

“The global fashion and textile industry needs high quality sustainable and recyclable materials. At Woodspin we are bringing to the market Spinnova’s innovative biodegradable textile fibre, made using Suzano’s abundant supply of responsibly-sourced eucalyptus pulp. This has a radically lower environmental impact than alternative fibres such as cotton, offering one of the few genuinely scalable solutions to support sustainable production. We’re excited to ramp up production and create positive change.”

Capable of producing textile fibre with zero emissions, the modern facility also has a comprehensive approach to circularity and sustainability. As the only by-product of SPINNOVA® production is heat, the facility doesn’t require an environmental permit to operate. Using an advanced energy recovery system, excess heat is recycled into the local district heating system, estimated to save 2.4kg CO2e per kg of fibre produced, that would otherwise be required to generate district heat. Coupled with an environmentally friendly production process, Woodspin’s pioneering large-scale facility saves more emissions than it creates.

Juha Salmela, CTO and Co-Founder at Spinnova said:

“Spinnova’s patented fibre production process doesn’t require any harmful chemicals or dissolving, nor does it generate waste or microplastics. It has a 74% smaller life cycle carbon footprint and uses 99.5% less water compared to conventional cotton production. The result is a natural, cotton-like textile fibre that meets the rigorous environmental and performance demands of brands and consumers alike – and, through facilities such as this one, can now be produced at scale.”

SPINNOVA® fibre spun at Woodspin’s facility is produced from wood pulp made from certified, sustainably grown eucalyptus trees. All pulp is sourced from Suzano, which has a strict zero deforestation policy and only plants on land that was previously degraded.

The wood-based SPINNOVA® fibre has previously been used by global fashion brands such as adidas, H&M Group’s ARKET, Marimekko and JACK&JONES.

ITMA 2023 Exhibitor Preview: KARL MAYER GROUP’s Digital Solutions

OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany — May 25, 2023 — At ITMA, the KARL MAYER GROUP will be showing how to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization – 08-14.06.2023, Fiera Milano, Hall 4 B119

At the upcoming ITMA in Milan, the KARL MAYER GROUP will be presenting solutions that enable customers to master the profound changes of our time and to use their challenges as opportunities – especially when it comes to digital transformation.

The group of companies supports its customers on their way into the digital world of their sectors with new digital developments, which it can drive forward quickly thanks to the combined innovative power of its individual business units. When it comes to customer-specific requirements for machine technologies in warp knitting, flat knitting, warp preparation and technical textiles, the experts in these business units are in demand. Their task is primarily to develop software and smart machine functions. The experts of the KM.ON business unit, with their overarching focus on digital solutions, have their eyes on the control and optimisation of processes. The potentials through the combined digitalisation approach are manifold, especially for increasing efficiency.

Smart machine functions

To maximize productivity, the KARL MAYER GROUP is specifically developing smart machine functions that exploit the potential of digitalization or artificial intelligence, for example, to revolutionize pattern change in warp knitting through cloud-based patterning. High-performance tricot machines of the digital generation such as the HKS 3-M ON work with pattern data from the cloud instead of pattern discs and, thus, offer unique flexibility: Patterns can be changed at the click of a mouse on the computer and without manual intervention. In addition to the handling effort, costs and environmental pollution caused by the production, transport and storage of mechanical data carriers are eliminated. Moreover, patterns are 100% reproducible, also without any manual adjustments.

The KARL MAYER GROUP also offers smart solutions for machine functions and processes in the flat knitting sector. The software offerings are combined in a package and cover the entire value chain of the flat knitting mill by means of a fast picture-to-knitting program, individualized grading and patterning, and optimized production managing. The result is a consistent, optimized workflow that makes greater productivity possible. Other benefits include faster response times, greater plant efficiency thanks to real-time transparency and lower costs thanks to overall production optimization.

Innovations focusing on the smart machine theme include a CANopen interface that allows a bidirectional communication between electronic feed wheel(s) and machine centrally through machine program with higher data transfer rate. The fusion ensures reliable guidance and precise infeed of special, demanding yarns, thus making high-quality goods possible.

Digital solutions for the product development

Digital support is also available for the creation of patterns. The KARL MAYER GROUP offers various software products at different levels for the design process of warp knitted and flat knitted goods. Even 3D simulations of the designed flat knitted articles are possible by means of appropriate external software. The design and patterning tools make the customers’ business easier. They provide more flexibility, efficiency and creativity, thus helping to save costs and shorten time-to-market, and also score points in terms of sustainability, because they can be used to reduce the number of physical samples.

Digital production management tools

Other digital solutions focus on the analysis of production data. For example, warp knitting customers will be able to use real-time information on the energy consumption of their machines in the future with a new energy monitoring system. A first prototype will be shown at the trade show. For the time being, the monitoring tool provides detailed insights into the energy data, which can be used to better understand production and control it for optimization.

In addition, with the DPM (Digital Production Management) KM.ON’s offers a software solution to facilitate and improve the management of a warp knitting textile factory. With real-time insights, streamlined processes, and optimal resource allocation, DPM enables data-driven decision-making and agile adaptation to market demands, helping textile producers achieve sustainable success and growth. Features for the planning and analysis of the production as well as live data and reporting functions will give full transparency of the production events enabling faster reaction times, increased productivity and reduced man power costs.

A dashboard for monitoring with real-time data on machine operation is also provided for KARL MAYER’s warp preparation machines, especially for the sectional warping sector, and STOLL PPS is a digital production planning tool for the flat knitting mill. The central platform for production data and production processes informs the customer online during ongoing operation about important events in his production. This enables rapid reactions to deviations and prompt repairs for minimum downtimes. An operating calendar is available for realistic planning and evaluation of production capacity.

Care solutions with digital offers

In line with its holistic approach, the KARL MAYER GROUP also offers its customers added value in the support sector via digitalization. For warp knitting and warp preparation, digital options such as remote maintenance have been combined with conventional offers. The completely new service approach includes a welcome desk, ticket system as well as first, second and third level support and offers customers fast and transparent backing. It also creates the basis for predictive maintenance and servicing.

In warp preparation, networking the machines with the cloud ensures efficient access to machine data and remote service. In addition, quality management reports can be called up on any mobile device via the cloud. The prerequisites for a proactive warping cloud function are also created.

Committed to highest data security

The most important resource for the use of all these digitalization offerings is data. The KARL MAYER GROUP considers the data surrounding the operation of its machines to be an asset worthy of protection and therefore applies established and recognised security procedures to protect this data. The group of companies follows a connectivity strategy based on state of the art solutions ensuring highest security and performance standards.
