FTC Approves New Fiber Classification for Regenerated Material in the US
What happened
The Federal Trade Commission approved renoa, a first-of-its-kind regenerated fiber, establishing a new apparel fiber category in the United States. This approval was the first new fiber classification recognized by the agency in almost 25 years, since the approval of PLA in 2002. Renoa was developed in a New York City laboratory and is made from keratin-rich textile offcuts and waste, including down.

Why it matters
The approval paves the way for products made with renoa to be labeled and sold in the U.S. The fiber, which is engineered for luxury applications, was also the first developed using a proprietary artificial intelligence platform.
