FTC Approves New Fiber Classification

Next-generation fiber producer, Everbloom, has announce that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has approved renoa, a first-of-its-kind regenerated fiber, marking the first new apparel fiber classification approved by the agency in almost 25 years, the last being the approval of PLA in 2002. The approval establishes renoa as its own fiber category and paves the way for textile products containing renoa to be labeled and sold in the United States.

Renoa is a regenerated, protein-based fiber derived from keratin-rich textile waste and offcuts, such as discarded wool, cashmere, and down.

See the FTC Rule 8 Application.
