Blue Ridge Hotel Textiles has introduced a new line of pillows and blankets crafted with CiCLO biodegradable polyester fiber. Synthetic microfibers are a leading source of global microplastic pollution, but unlike traditional synthetics that take centuries to decompose, CiCLO fibers naturally break down in aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environments—without compromising performance or durability during use or care. These fibers will not degrade prematurely on shelves or during customary use, demonstrating the resilience of natural biodegradable fibers like cotton and wool.
CiCLO technology incorporates biodegradable properties directly into the fiber structure during manufacturing, ensuring the materials perform like conventional synthetics while decomposing significantly faster in ocean and soil conditions. These bedding products help to reduce microplastic pollution and can help hoteliers achieve sustainability certification.
