As the apparel industry is increasingly pivoting away from the use of animal-based fur, this partnership will offer a versatile faux fur with attributes for markets such as the luxury fashion market.

KOBA®  faux fur is made with up to 100% Sorona® fibers, creating the first commercially available faux furs using bio-based ingredients. Using 100% Sorona® polymer homofilament fiber.

While it’s already established that conventional polyester used to create faux fur has a smaller impact on the environment than animal-based fibers, ECOPEL is willing to reduce the environmental impact of faux fur.

KOBA® faux fur is 37% Plant-based which means

• 30% energy reduction

• 63% Greenhouse gas emission reduction
• And still animal-friendly

Along with our faux fur made from recycled polyester, KOBA® Faux Fur is our strongest sustainability effort to meet the criterias of the IPCC (International Panel On Climate Change)’s target of a reduction of 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for 2030.

We are creating the transition towards more eco-friendly synthetics.
