How to Choose Biodegradable Products

This is a list of products made with biodegradable materials. We handle linings, ribbons, textiles, and industrial sewing thread, and the main material is cupro. Biodegradation is the process by which microorganisms such as bacteria and mold break down a substance into simpler substances or inorganic matter.

For linings, you can choose according to the garment construction, from knee linings that are attached from the waist area to around the knees of pants, to twill with diagonal ridges, and taffeta with firmness and moderate luster. There is also jersey, in which a V-shaped knit appears on the front side of the textile. Customer reviews mention color tone, luster, smooth hand feel, ease of handling, and stretchability. For thin, delicate materials, attention to ironing temperature and snagging is also mentioned.

This introduction was written by AI based on product data, reviews and the ApparelX Wiki.

Picks from makers and suppliers

(3 reviews)
Supplier's PickJan 29, 2026
Vivid, luxurious lining
This lining has a twill weave with a different look on the front and back.
The surface has a glossy, vivid impression. It has a smooth feel and a firm texture, so
it is less likely to wrinkle even when folded. Even one roll is heavy, so if you are purchasing by the roll, please handle it with care!
AK1800 Cupro Twill Lining (Bemberg) ›
Supplier's PickJan 7, 2026
Cupro Stretch Lining
This is a stretchy Bemberg (Cupro) lining.
It has a moderate 12% stretch in the horizontal direction,
making it ideal for jackets and pencil skirts.
Features include:
It has a smooth finish and a soft feel against the skin, with less static electricity,
reducing cling and discomfort.
It offers a very refreshing wearing comfort.
This is one of our recommended stock items.
AKP9006 Bemberg Lajour Lining ›
Supplier's PickDec 26, 2025
Cupro 100% taffeta with stretch and a wide color range
It has just the right amount of stretch, so it looks comfortable to wear. It also comes in many color variations, and this is a product number that is often chosen as a substitute for AKP5137, which is also a 100% Cupro taffeta. It is in stock at Okura Shoji, so quick delivery is available.

Frequently asked questions

QCan I get test data for the lining?
Support page, or please note it in the remarks field when placing your order. We will confirm with the manufacturer.
QI ordered textile by the roll, but isn’t the quantity the same as what I ordered?
When you order textile by the roll, it is usually arranged as an estimated roll, so the quantity may be more or less than the quantity you ordered.
Therefore, if the quantity changes from what you ordered, we will notify you of the quantity by email each time.
If the quantity is greater, you will need to pay the difference; if the quantity is less, we will refund the difference within a few days after shipment is completed.
QIs it possible to order textile without any splice?
For cut-to-order items, this is possible, but for orders of 5 m or more, an interruption in the middle may occur.
If there is an interruption in the middle for cut items, we cut them slightly longer.
Also, even for roll items, there may be an interruption in the middle, so please place your order with some extra quantity to allow for waste (loss).
