The Poole Company, a textile fiber company and is now one of the leading distributors of recycled fibers and virgin polyester fibers. It has developed a biodegradable fiber made entirely of recycled plastic bottles, most commonly used for water and soft drink bottles.
The fiber, called EcoSure BioBlast, is designed to be biodegradable in oxygen-deficient environments like landfills. In tests run by a New Mexico lab, the fiber was 72.5 percent biodegraded within a year, which is 12 times faster than traditional nonwoven fibers used for household wipes, the company said.
