We have recently talked about projects that use food waste to create new materials<\/a><\/em>, mostly prototypes and start-ups. Today we want to present Orange Fiber s.r.l.<\/a><\/em>, a company founded in 2014\u00a0\u200bby \u200bAdriana \u200bSantanocito \u200band \u200bEnrica \u200bArena \u200band based in Catania, Sicily. Its aim is to recover citrus juice by-products by transforming them into exquisite fabrics, chosen by brands such as Ferragamo and Marinella for their collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano, Adriana and Enrica developed an innovative process to create fabric using more than 700 thousand tons of by-products that every year the citrus processing industry produces in Italy, and which would otherwise be disposed of. In 2013 the company filed the patent in Italy, which was then extended to an international patent in 2014. In December 2015 the first pilot plant opened in Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
