Today as ORTA, we are focusing regenerative systems as we believe that they are the key to solve most of the problems we face today’s world in terms of material scarcity while also improving their surroundings environmentally and socially. For us, regenerative systems have 3 focus areas: longevity, circularity and regeneration. In line with this approach, one of the developments we are currently working on is the Torque family. Our patent-pending magical stretch technology Torque fabrics contain zero elastane and petroleum-based fibres. Torque pushes the limits with new alternatives that solve the synthetic fiber usage & micro plastics problem. 100% natural cellulosic comfort stretch fabrics in Torque family achieves mechanically recyclable and potentially biodegradable denim fabrics while causing no microplastic pollution. Engineered to revolutionize the future of stretch denim in the industry, Orta’s Torque fabric family is groundbreaking comfort stretch story created from biodegradable mono fibers. 

Stretch levels in denim fabric can be achieved by petroleum based fibers. In current mechanical recycling systems for textile waste, up to 2% elastane containing cotton rich fabrics/garments can be processed. If not recycled, the textile waste end up in the landfills. Cotton and other cellulosic fibers are potentially biodegradable hence compostable. However, petroleum based fibres can not biodegrade or composted hence cause microplastic pollution.

Developed by Orta Anadolu, Torque fabric contains 100% cotton and achieves comfort stretch levels. At the end of its life, the fabric itself is mechanically recyclable and potentially biodegradable in nature.
