THE WORLD`S FINEST TOWEL
THE WORLD’S FINEST TOWEL Feel it once, love it forever MICROCOTTON, feel it once, love it forever… 1. How is Microcotton green? (Life Cycle thinking) 2. Key performance features 3. The essence of Microcotton 4. Comparison against other Long Stapled cotton (Supima & Egyptian) 5. Microcotton around the world Life-cycle thinking minimizes use of natural resources and emission of waste and pollutants RAW MATERIAL Cotton seeds patented and cultivated exclusively for Microcotton. Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) certification ensures organic status of textiles, from harvesting of raw materials to environmental responsible manufacturing, avoiding all harmful chemical substances and dye. Life-cycle thinking minimizes use of natural resources and emission of waste and pollutants MANUFACTURING Produced in a zero discharge facility. Clean manufacturing process that recycles effluent in RO system. Life-cycle thinking minimizes use of natural resources and emission of waste and pollutants MANUFACTURING Facility uses agro waste as fuel. 25% of energy are wind generated. Life-cycle thinking minimizes use of natural resources and emission of waste and pollutants TRANSPORTATION Microcotton’s vertically integrated setup facilitates in-house production from yarn to towel. The transportation saved minimizes the carbon footprint of each towel produced. Life-cycle thinking minimizes use of natural resources and emission of waste and pollutants EVERYDAY USE Conserve up to 30% of energy and water used during laundry. How is this possible? Manufactured using Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton which have much higher fiber strength. ELS cotton enables the yarn to be spun fluffier, yet remains lighter. Absorbs up to 3X more moisture by weight than the average towel. Up to 25% quicker drying compared to regular towel. The loops are snag free so there won’t be pulled threads during washing. Prolonging life of the towel. Life-cycle thinking minimizes use of natural resources and emission of waste and pollutants END OF LIFE CYCLE Microcotton towels are made from 100% cotton, they are recyclable and bio-degradable, which helps lessen textile waste generated every year. The essence of MICROCOTTON Most towels have loops that are wound in a spiral fashion, so they don’t feel as soft, don’t look as white, aren’t as absorbent, and don’t dry as quickly as MICROCOTTON® towels. After a few washes, these spiral loops become tight and thin, which further reduces the softness and absorbency. With MICROCOTTON®, the fiber loops have an open structure, which enables better absorbency, softer feel, whiter appearance and quicker drying time compared to other towels of the same weight. The pile loops fluff and expand after a few washes, so towels remain soft and absorbent. Key performance feature – ABSORBENCY & DRYING Absorbency & Drying Microcotton towels absorbs instantaneously and dries substantially faster. Higher absorbency is achieved at a lower weight due to the open loop structure, which also enables 20% faster drying. Key performance feature – SMOOTH, SOFT & PLUSH Microcotton towels are 2X as plush as other towels of the same weight and remains so after repeated washings. Due to the unique construction of Microcotton, the towels occupies less volume after absorbing water, just like a ball of cotton! Smooth, Soft & Plush This enables you to load up to 30% more towels in your laundry load, saving time, energy, water and detergent while reducing home effluent discharge. Key performance feature - DURABILITY 1. ELS cotton are recognized for their superior strength and better uniformity. 2. Coupled with Microcotton’s patented construction, the ELS cotton enables the yarn to be spun plushier, eliminating the need for heavy, high GSM towels. 3. Unlike normal towels, Microcotton’ open loops are weaved into the base construction of the towels, making them snag free. This means no more pulled threads from washing, your fingernails or jewelry! Durability Snag free ELS cotton fiber strength lasts up to 30% longer. 4. The combination of a stronger fiber and snag free loops gives the towel a longer life span than ordinary towels.
