Why is white not in the color palette?
That is because soybean fiber is an eco-friendly fiber and we thrive to retain the soft wheat-butter hue during its coloring process.
What is soybean fiber?
Soybean fiber is a sustainable textile fiber made from renewable natural resources. It is part of an effort moving
consumers away from petrochemical textile products and turning waste into useful products.
What is the manufacturing process of soybean fiber?
Manufacturing is done through using cutting-edge bioengineering extract proteins from leftover dregs from soybean
oil/tofu/soymilk production. Then through a process called wet-spinning, the protein liquids are forced through a device
resembling a showerhead, called a spinneret, to make liquid soy. Finally, the liquid soy is solidified to make soybean fiber.
The raw material, bean dregs, after having their protein extracted, can be used as fodder or fertilizer. All auxiliaries used in
production of soybean fiber are of a harmless nature, and they are recyclable making the production process a closed end process.
How does soybean fiber help our environment?
Soybean fiber is part of "sustainable clothing", where sustainable raw materials or waste are used to produce textile products.
Soybean fiber does not add any extra burden on mother nature
Another way to look at it is like using "recycled paper", turning waste into useful things. Thus greatly reducing the impact on the environment.
Why soybean fiber?
Babysoy wanted to contribute our efforts in cutting down human damages to mother nature and help to promote sustainable
clothing to the public. Aside from being eco-friendly, soybean fiber itself also has superior warmth retention and
moisture transmission, thus keeping babies warm and dry. It also has silky luster and super soft hand feel. We believe soybean fabric is the
perfect product for babies with its superior quality. Soybean fiber is being touted as "vegetable cashmere"!
How does soybean fiber compare to other fibers?
Soybean fiber is soft, smooth, and light. It has a cashmere feel, but is smoother than cashmere. Soybean fiber has joyful
silky luster with perfect drape and elegant feel. It has the same moisture absorption as cotton but with better moisture
transmission than cotton, making it more comfortable to wear. Soybean fiber has a stronger tensile strength than wool and
almost as good as wool in terms of warmth retention.
Caring for soybean fabric is relatively easy as it can be machine washed with little shrinkage and air-dried. We don't
recommend high temperature drying because it will damage the protein structure.
