In Hindi, &#8220;Eranda&#8221; is a small bean from which the perfect oil is extracted for the\u00a0bio-polymer\u00a0from which everything begins. And it is\u00a0Castor oil\u00a0that is the source of these new 100% sustainable yarns, which can be used for fabrics and fine garments in many sectors, from fashion to sports, from automotive to home textiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RadiciGroup, the\u00a0<strong>only European producer\u00a0<\/strong>of this material, has chosen the\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Performance days&#8221; trade fair\u00a0<\/strong>(that took place in Munich on 15 and 16 March) to unveil this yarn with excellent technical and environmental performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today,\u00a0<strong>80% of the world&#8217;s castor-oil plantations are in India\u00a0<\/strong>, particularly in the Gujarat region, due to its favourable climatic conditions. In this area, local people can earn an additional income by cultivating\u00a0<strong>semi-arid land that does not compete with food production<\/strong>, and by applying the skills they have acquired over time to this work. Over the years, thanks to\u00a0<strong>research, development and innovation<\/strong>\u00a0in the value chain, the seeds from which the oil is produced have been\u00a0<strong>selected and certified<\/strong>\u00a0to ensure the finest quality, also in terms of end uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Castor beans contain around 45% oil, rich in ricinolein, from which the bio-polymer polyamide 11 is derived. This is the polymer RadiciGroup uses for its Biofeel<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;Eleven yarn. What remains after the first pressing is a highly effective bio-fertiliser that is returned to the soil. In short, a true example of&nbsp;<strong>circularity and \u201czero waste\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>&#8220;Biofeel<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Eleven<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; underlines Marco De Silvestri, sales and marketing head of the Advanced Textile Solutions Business Area. &#8211;\u00a0<em>has unique and special properties, such as low water absorption, increased lightness and improved strength properties.\u00a0<\/em>.\u00a0<em>This means being able to produce fabrics that are both durable and comfortable to the touch and skin.
