UPM supplied bio-based polyester fibres to Pontetorto, an Italian manufacturer located in Munich. Pontetorto used these fibres to create the 6140/Biobased microfleece, which replaces conventional fossil-based raw materials with wood-derived bio-PET. The fabric, which incorporates materials from wood industry residues, won the Performance Days Eco Award.
