Coreva™

COREVA™ is an innovative technology developed and patented by Candiani Denim that uses a plant-based yarn obtained from natural rubber to replace synthetic, petrol-based yarns. Made from organic cotton wrapped around a natural rubber core, the result is a yarn that is completely plastic-free. By replacing conventional synthetic and petrol-based elastomers with a new, custom-engineered component, Candiani has created an innovative biodegradable stretch denim fabric – without compromising the elasticity, physical qualities, and durability of jeans.
This revolutionary technology aims to completely change the entire world of Denim production. Led by Alberto Candiani, fourth generation son, Candiani is known for its commitment to sustainability and tireless efforts to develop ground-breaking new technologies. COREVA™ Stretch Technology is a step closer to a truly circular model in which raw materials become fabric, then garment, and then return to nature thanks to their biodegradability.

“In a world where resources are diminishing and landfills are overflowing with discarded garments, we must look for renewable resources, in addition to biodegradable and compostable materials, Denim has to take the lead of this revolution and we are thrilled to be working alongside brands such as DENHAM the Jeanmaker and Stella McCartney to share our innovation and beliefs with the wider fashion industry”.

Alberto Candiani

The inspiration for COREVA™ came from Alberto Candiani whilst he was shopping for salami cold-cuts in his local delicatessen in Milan.


After enquiring about the salami hanging from the ceiling and discovering the casings were made from a natural rubber, Alberto was convinced he could use the same technology to create a new kind of stretch denim made only with bio-based ingredients in place of elastane, traditionally used in the production of stretch Denim.

By replacing the common synthetic and petrochemical-based elastomers with a new, custom-engineered natural rubber, the long-standing issue of circularity for stretch denim is addressed. The bio-based product can biodegrade in mature compost in less than six months, without releasing the toxic chemicals and microplastics of conventional elastane, in compliance with the EU standard EN13432.


Each year an estimated 25 billion unused garments are sent to landfills or incinerated, most are made with petroleum-based synthetic elastomers and these fibers can take up to hundreds of years to decompose. Through the development of COREVA™ Candiani is working towards reducing this figure.


COREVA™ launched in November 2019 in collaboration with research and development partner DENHAM the Jeanmaker with the ‘Life is Movement’ collection. This was quickly followed by Stella McCartney debuting the COREVA™ Stretch Technology denim as part of its Autumn 2020 collection, available in-store and online globally from May 2020.
In 2020 the COREVA™ technology will be offered to a selected group of 15 brands including Dondup, Hiut and Kings of Indigo, that share Candiani’s values and commitment to sustainability.
