Cynthia® is a natural fiber that is produced from an invasive aquatic plant, water hyacinth. This plant, Eichhornia crassipes, is one of the most invasive species present in hot and humid areas, clogging waterways in more than 120 countries, a real concern for the environment.
In-Between international (IBI) has developed a complete patented process, gathering technologies from the collection of the plant to the defibration, turning it into a natural fiber.
This new natural fiber exhibits outstanding properties such as thermal insulation or liquid absorption, and can be shaped in many forms. This positions Cynthia as a strong candidate for a myriad of sustainable applications for stakeholders seeking innovative and better environmental solutions.
