SENSIL® By NILIT And ROICA™ By Asahi Kasei Collaborate To Reduce Apparel’s Footprint Through Biomass Balance

Dec 2025 – Rapidly transforming apparel into a lower-carbon industry requires collaboration, innovation, and creativity.

In this spirit, SENSIL® by NILIT and ROICA™ by Asahi Kasei have collaborated to introduce the concept of a new fabric with less environmental impact, combining SENSIL® ByNature, a NILIT Biomass Balanced Nylon 6.6 yarn, and Biomass Balanced ROICA™ premium stretch fiber, both designed for high-performance apparel.

Both companies utilize textile raw materials created through the Biomass Balance (BMB) approach, which utilizes renewable feedstocks made from reclaimed and recycled organic waste that does not compete with food sources, nor need the use of land for its production
