Why biodegradable polyester is so expensive

Biodegradable additivies like CiCLO are patented technologies. You are paying for the R&D and the license, not just the chemical. Plus, the production runs are smaller and more specialized.

Why this matters for production

Decisions made at the spec stage for cost or marketing often ignore the physical reality of fiber processing. This leads to efficient programs on paper that become nightmares on the production line.

We help you navigate these trade-offs before you commit to volume.
