Sorona is the 37 per cent plant-based polymer that brings sustainable functionality and comfort to textiles including wovens, knits, insulation, synthetic leather, faux fur, and footwear. Combining flexibility, durability, and sustainability, Susterra propanediol is a road-ready, natural 100 per cent plant-based diol ingredient used in footwear, outdoor apparel, performance gear, and more, the company said in a press release.

“Combining our experience and knowledge in bio-based technology with the expertise of our partners is a tremendous accomplishment. We continue to demonstrate that products made with Sorona polymer and Susterra propanediol offer performance and environmental benefits that are unmatched in the market today,” said Alexa Raab, global corporate communications director.

“Making propanediol from plant-based feedstock is not enough—the feedstock needs to be grown responsibly. Our commitment to this is demonstrated in our recent enrollment in the Truterra regenerative agricultural programme. We believe this is a critical next step in empowering our customers and partners to better track their contributions towards reducing the environmental footprint within their supply chain all the way through to the final consumer product,” added Patrick Van Waes, global marketing director – CovationBioPDO.
