Orange Fiber

Orange Fiber is a textile manufacturing company that produces sustainable fabrics derived from citrus juice by-products, known as pastazzo. The company utilizes a proprietary, patented technology to extract cellulose from these industrial residues, which are otherwise disposed of at significant economic and environmental costs. By transforming this waste into high-quality yarn and fabric, Orange Fiber offers an innovative, circular solution for the fashion industry. The resulting fibers are biodegradable, compostable, and do not release plastic microfibers, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional materials while maintaining high aesthetic and technical standards.

These circular textiles are designed for fashion and design brands seeking to minimize their ecological footprint without compromising on quality. The company partners with industrial leaders, such as the Lenzing Group, to produce branded lyocell fibers and finished fabric collections suitable for various applications, including luxury fashion, denim, sportswear, and home textiles. Since its 2014 founding in Sicily, Orange Fiber has collaborated with prominent fashion houses and retailers, including Salvatore Ferragamo, H&M, and E. Marinella, to demonstrate the viability and luxury potential of materials made from food waste. The brand provides transparency through its supply chain, ensuring that end customers can identify garments crafted from their patented citrus fabrics.
