A partnership with Ecolife Yarns (Belda Lloréns), Impetus Group, Good Earth Cotton, and FibreTrace has resulted in the launch of a range of fully traceable, recycled, and carbon positive fiber yarns.

Ecolife collects and processes pre-and post-consumer waste textiles such as cotton, linen, and cellulose to create new yarns. Good Earth Cotton, the world's first carbon-positive cotton farmed in Australia, is used to maintain environmental integrity while adding a soft and breathable quality.

There are three different blends in the E*Retrace® yarn collection: E*RetraceCO+®: It is the world's first recycled and carbon-positive yarn, consisting of 30% recycled cellulosic fiber and 70% Good Earth Cotton®. Open-End Process + Fibretrace;  E*ReTrace100®: It is 100% recycled fiber, 30% post-industrial recycled fiber mechanical process, and 70% pre/post-consumer recycled fiber. Open-End Process + Fibretrace; and E*Retrace30®: It is made up of 30% post-industrial mechanically recycled fibers combined with 70% Good Earth Cotton, Tencel, or viscose. Open-End Process + Fibretrace.

Fibretrace transparency technology is built into every E*Retrace yarn. Fibretrace provides companies with the highly sought-after solution for supply chain custody, allowing them to verify sustainability claims and the authenticity of fiber through real-time verification and quantification.

Francisco Mataix, director of Belda Lloréns and ECOLIFE, said that for years, Ecolife has provided brands with creative and sustainable yarn solutions, with the goal of achieving net-zero climate effect. Their collaboration with Impetus, Good Earth Cotton, and Fibretrace allows them to take another step ahead in meeting worldwide market demand for positive impact textiles.

Belda Lloréns collaborates with Ecolife on a number of high-profile brands, including Kering, Adidas, Ganni, and Zara, with the purpose of producing high-quality, mindful, and responsibly created products.
