Welcome to the future of fibers

At Fiberpartner we provide fiber in many forms and shapes. We support a broad variety of industries, and we are happy to help whether you are looking for traditional polyester, the newest plant-based technology, or something in between.

Fiberpartner is a Danish advisor and supplier of textiles including PrimaLoft®Bio™. We understand the urgent need to transform polyester production and consumption for a more sustainable future.

BAT) Polymer BREF and ZDHC MMCF guidelines, above and beyond local regulations. We have also submitted to annual assessments by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and other ESG reviews.

We also look for independent, thirdparty certifications to confirm our sustainable production and approaches satisfy international requirements. For example, we look to improve the quality of our VSF and in turn the yarns, by adhering to standards that include OEKO-TEX®, FKT, and OK biodegradability labels.

Our efforts include capturing and re-using chemicals and chemical by-products, reducing and eventually eliminating the use of hazardous substances in our production processes, treating and recycling wastewater, practicing proper waste management, and implementing air pollution control methods.
