Food waste / Fabric

Orange Fiber fabric

Fabric from cellulose extracted out of citrus juice industry by-products (Catania, Italy, since 2014; patented process) — stated as the world's first. Used by Salvatore Ferragamo and H&M, and in a 2021 TENCEL Limited Edition with Lenzing (citrus pulp in lyocell). Developed as luxury-leaning fabrics such as satins.

Adds citrus to the food-by-product fabric axis (apple, grape, cactus). Distinct for being fabric-first rather than leather-replacement, with the Lenzing collab…

Good for

• Luxury apparel and scarf fabric with a food-by-product story
