What is Bio Knit?
Bio Knit is a fabric dye sublimation print substrate designed with the performance characteristics of polyester but enhanced for the earth’s ecosystems. Standard polyester molecular chains are so large that it is difficult for microbes to process. Bio Knit incorporates an additive which creates “sweet spots” in each fiber where microbes can break down the fabric.
Bio Knit Features & Benefits
Biodegradeable
Designed to biodegrade naturally at the same rate as a non-synthetic fiber such as wool. Breaks down 15x faster than polyester.
Durable
Our unique fabric can withstand the rigors of manufacturing, shipping, and installation, just like polyester.
Bright White Point
Has the same stretch and white value as K&R’s standard Soft Knit fabric for nonlit applications. Brighter is Better!
Ocean-Friendly
Reduces the microplastic pollution in our waterways because it actually degrades in water.
Cost Effective
Pricing aligns with our other dye sublimation materials. There is no cost premium for the sustainability benefit.
