At Acme Mills, our commitment to sustainability is woven into every product we develop. Our Natura Natural Fiber Textiles line features materials derived from renewable plant and animal sources, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial applications.
These eco-conscious textiles are designed to provide biodegradability, strength, and versatility, making them ideal for sectors like automotive, filtration, geotextiles, and packaging—where performance and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand.
What Are Natural Fiber Textiles?
Natural fiber textiles are made from raw fibers sourced directly from plants or animals, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic, petroleum-based materials. Our offerings fall into two primary categories:
Plant-Based Fibers
Plant-derived fibers are known for their strength, renewability, and wide range of industrial uses. At Acme Mills, we utilize the following:
- Hemp – A high-strength, durable fiber that’s ideal for automotive interiors, composite reinforcements, insulation materials, and geotextiles. It grows quickly and requires minimal water and pesticides, making it a leading choice for eco-conscious engineering.
- Jute – A coarse, rugged fiber used in erosion control, sacks, ropes, and biodegradable packaging. Its strength and texture make it excellent for nonwoven textiles and industrial mats.
- Bamboo – Naturally antimicrobial and quick-drying, bamboo fiber is perfect for absorbent wipes, filtration media, and disposable industrial products.
- Cotton (industrial grade) – Known for its softness and absorbency, cotton is used in wipes, padding, and certain filtration
applications. Our industrial-grade cotton is selected for resilience and ease of processing.
Animal-Based Fibers
Animal-derived fibers bring unique performance qualities like thermal insulation and softness, which are especially valuable in technical textiles for protective and ergonomic applications.
- Wool – Offers natural thermal regulation and flame resistance, making it suitable for industrial insulation, acoustic panels, and technical padding. Its natural loft and resiliency support repeated compression without loss of structure.
- Silk – Lightweight and highly tensile, silk can be integrated into high-end composite structures and specialty applications where strength and minimal weight are required.
