Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei announces the achievement of the OK biodegradable MARINE certification

It is in this prestigious context that Bemberg™ announces that it has obtained the OK biodegradable MARINE certification, which guarantees the biodegradability of its products even in the marine environment, as certified by TÜV AUSTRIA. After confirming 100 percent biodegradability in soil without release of any toxic residue, the new certification is a real solution to the problem of microplastics in water. 

"Since 1931 Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei has been committed to responsible innovation and strongly believes that fashion should be beautiful, innovative and at the same time aware of its impact and take action to reduce it," declares Ettore Pellegrini, Marketing & Sales Manager of Asahi Kasei Fibers Italy. "With Blue Friday we have started a new chapter in our sustainability journey."

Indeed, the fiber comes with a circular economy footprint obtained from cotton linters through a closed-loop process. Bemberg™ also ensures certified sustainability credentials through its transparent and traceable approach.
