  • "Wax On, Wax Off." It's a famous scene in the classic 1984 movie "Karate Kid." Our Fibre52 team was thinking about that one day and realized with our patented system, it's about leaving cotton's natural wax on, not taking the wax off. This is one of the major differences between our low temperature process and traditional bleach and scour systems. By leaving cotton's natural waxes on and intact, the fabric comes out with natural performance benefits, including better strength, softness, and microclimate comfort. Learn more by visiting Fibre52.com If you're at ISPO this week, please pop by Fibre52's booth in Hall A2 ( Booth #442, near the Sustainability Hub).
