CovationBio Launches Bio-Based Stretch Fiber for Apparel Market

The fiber is now commercially available across the United States and Latin America through a strategic partnership with Mercados Internacionales. By utilizing a bio-based foundation, the company intends to provide apparel brands with a sustainable alternative that does not sacrifice elasticity or recovery. According to CEO Steven Ackerman, this product marks the first branded fiber offering for the Newark-based company, building on a twenty-five-year history of developing textile ingredients.

Targeting sectors such as activewear, workwear, and uniforms, the fiber is designed to integrate into existing supply chains where durable stretch is a requirement. Mercados Internacionales will manage local inventory and regional distribution to address rising demand for materials that offer both functional performance and a reduced environmental footprint.
