Recycled and Runway Ready: Naia™’s new creative expression leveraging AI technology

Naia™ from Eastman’s fibers set a superior standard in responsible fashion thanks to a process that changes the paradigm of circularity: Eastman’s carbon renewal technology. This technology breaks hard to recycle waste down into its molecular building blocks and recomposes them into high quality feedstock that can be used to create Naia™ Renew, a versatile, functional, traceable, biodegradable and compostable GRS-certified cellulosic fiber, ready to be transformed into new fashion collections without compromising style and comfort.

Eastman is already offering, at scale, a fiber featuring 60% GRS-certified recycled content, Naia™ Renew ES (Enhanced Sustainability) – and the goal is to be even more ambitious. Naia™ Renew ES is made from 40% certified recycled waste material, 20% certified recycled cellulose and 40% sustainably sourced wood pulp.

Made with recycled materials, wonderful garments take shape, spanning from the most elegant and formal style to casual streetwear, while adapting to every fashion need under the sign of versatility.

The images evoke a kind of movie magic, but there is, most of all, technology and innovation behind these striking results. The women are wearing real garments, for sale in stores around the world and online. Naia™ recycled-content fibers are available at scale and featured in the collections of top fashion brands.
