Apple-waste sheet
AppleSkin™
The certified bio-based figure is a ceiling across the range, not a per-grade guarantee, and the backing changes between grades while often being left off the specification sheet you are shown. Ask which grade…

Cactus-fibre sheet
Desserto®
The cactus input is what differentiates the sheet, not what most of it weighs; the polymer system and backing carry the rest. No single composition figure is published across grades, so get your grade's…

Pineapple-leaf fibre
Piñatex® (producer in administration)
The trademark holder has been in administration since August 2025, so treat any offer as remnant inventory and confirm who is actually selling. The widely quoted 80% is a fibre-to-PLA ratio inside the base…

Grape-marc sheet
VEGEA®
A bio-content question is frequently answered with REACH compliance; the two are unrelated, since REACH concerns restricted substances rather than composition. Ask for each separately, and note that the grape residue is a minority…

Recycled polyester (rPET)
REPREVE®
Bottle-derived recycled polyester draws feedstock out of an existing bottle-to-bottle loop, which does not make the recycled content untrue but weakens a broad circularity claim. Microfibre shedding is addressed by none of the certificates…

Lyocell
TENCEL™ Lyocell
The high solvent-recovery rate belongs to this branded process, not to lyocell generally; generic fibre from an uncertified mill may recover materially less. FSC covers pulp origin only, so a supplier answering on forestry…

Ocean-bound plastic
SEAQUAL® YARN
The marine-sourced portion is a declared minority of the recycled content, not the whole yarn, and it varies by lot. "Made from ocean plastic" and "contains a declared share of marine-sourced recycled PET" are…
