Texture Map - Miocene - 2004 - 11 - Half Yard

Equal parts textural and technical, Texture Map is Luum’s fifth recycled, biodegradable* polyester textile, joining Grid State, Ecotone, Biotope and Intraweb to provide sustainable solutions for multipurpose spaces. Yarn by yarn, Texture Map’s jacquard construction creates a staccato-like surface, punctuated by heathered weft yarns to lend a structural feel. Thanks to the biocatalyst additive in its cationic, disperse and solution dyed polyester fibers, Texture Map will biodegrade at the end of its usable life.

**Rate and extent of biodegradation into elements found in nature is 91% after 1,278 days under ASTM D5511 (Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under High Solids Anaerobic Digestion Conditions.) The test was done with the same component (PET) polyester and biocatalyst additive. No evidence of further degradation.
