A polyester-face wool blend sheds synthetic microfibres every wash cycle. Recycling the input fibre does not change the shedding behaviour.

Single-origin merino with primary environmental data. Structured for brands where material integrity is not optional.

Natural Engineering
One untreated fibre. No blends. No coatings. Zero chemical finishing. Performance from the fibre's structure, not from anything added to it.

Unbroken Traceability
Batch-specific environmental data from a single verified source. Primary, not modelled. Structured for EU compliance reporting and delivered with every transaction.
The data ↓The Wool-Blend Compromise.
The mid-layer category's answer to natural performance has been to blend it. Merino and polyester. Merino and Tencel. Merino with a synthetic resin coating. Each solves one problem and creates another: recycling complexity, microplastic pathways, or an AOX production burden. None resolves the full picture.
A bi-component wool-polyester fabric cannot be recycled as a single clean stream. Fibre separation at scale remains an unresolved infrastructure problem.
Chlorine-Hercosett superwash processing generates AOX-contaminated wastewater. As regulatory scrutiny of "natural" claims tightens, that burden carries forward.
Circular by Design. Not by Disassembly.
A mono-material keratin structure requires no separation. It enters fibre-to-fibre recycling as a single clean stream. At the end of its useful life, it returns to the biosphere without leaving synthetic residue behind.

Mono-Material
Quiet performance.
Single-origin. No harmful chemistry. Formed by nature.
One keratin protein matrix. Zero chemical finishing.
No synthetic components. No coatings. No microplastic generation pathway in consumer use.
No chlorination. No chemical finishes. GOTS-compatible processing pathway.
Developed in Italy’s textile district, where generations of superfine wool expertise meet the precision finishing infrastructure of Biella.
Single-estate. Identity-preserved from source to finished material. RWS-certified.
A 98.7% comfort factor places LYTEN™ above the fibre diameter threshold at which prickle perception begins. Silent against skin. Structured for mid-layer thermal performance.
The keratin protein matrix resists odour and moisture retention, reducing wash frequency compared to synthetic and blend mid-layers. Most use cases require airing rather than washing. No antimicrobial treatment required or applied.
Inherent fibre elasticity without synthetic components. No elastane. No blend required.
This is not invention.
It is recognition.
Nature provides the performance. We provide the proof.
Most Brands Report With Modelled Data. That Penalty Is Avoidable.
CSRD requires Scope 3 Category 1 data from every material supplier. Without it, brands default to industry averages: generic emission factors that inflate reported footprints, weaken reduction targets, and expose ESG narratives to audit risk.
MONO•TERRA™ supplies Tier 4 primary data with every transaction. Batch-specific. Auditable. Pre-structured for CSRD reporting, DPP field population, and EPR eco-modulation dossiers.
Specifying LYTEN™ is more than a sourcing decision. It is a compliance infrastructure solution. The compliance-ready data arrives with the material.
| Regulation | What It Requires |
|---|---|
| CSRD Scope 3 Cat. 1 | Tier 1 supplier environmental data |
| ESPR Ecodesign | Mono-material composition, restricted substance compliance, recyclability by design |
| DPP (textile) | Product-level traceability and provenance data |
| EPR Eco-modulation | End-of-life recyclability evidence |
Regulatory enforcement timelines vary. MONO•TERRA™ is structured to reduce reporting burden, hedge EPR exposure, and limit end-of-life liability. Ahead of compliance thresholds, not behind them.
What Travels With Every Batch
Structured Data. Every Transaction.
Each LYTEN™ delivery includes a batch-specific data record aligned to EPCIS 2.0 and GS1 Digital Link standards. Structured for direct import into CSRD reporting, DPP interfaces, and brand-level environmental databases.
The record captures provenance, fibre specification, certification status, and chain-of-custody events from farm gate to finished material handoff. Primary data, not modelled or averaged.
Where the Primary Data Originates
Our Grower Partners.
The data records start here. Hand-selected family estates, assessed against the MONO•TERRA Protocol™ for animal welfare, land stewardship, and data transparency.
Mulesing is a hard exclusion. No exceptions.
All Grower Partners hold current Responsible Wool Standard certification, independently audited by Textile Exchange. RWS is our baseline. Our protocol assesses what growers do beyond it.
Primary environmental data is structured directly with each farm team from existing operational records. Generated at source. Not modelled. Not averaged.
Execution Model.
No. MONO•TERRA™ is a fibre ingredient brand, not a SaaS platform. Data is delivered as a standardised file (JSON/EPCIS) linked to the commercial invoice, designed for immediate ingestion into your existing PLM or traceability ecosystem.
We do not rely on generic regional averages. We deliver Primary Raw Data, measured to PEF standards and verified against farm records. Full transparency on methodology ensures a defensible audit trail.
No, it enhances it. All fibre is RWS-certified for animal welfare. We layer granular primary data on top to deliver a specific cradle-to-gate footprint value for every batch.
Yes. Capacity is drawn from a curated network of grower partners, each governed by the MONO•TERRA Protocol™. Supply is structured well ahead of current commercial demand.
