Furthering its commitment to innovation and providing sustainable solutions for diverse needs across the value chain, Hyosung will introduce a unique offering of certified sustainable materials, which it will present this fall at Performance Days Munich, Kingpins Amsterdam, and Functional Fabric Fair Portland.
Creating a more powerful, traceable sustainable story, Hyosung is expanding its creora Bio-Based spandex offering to include options for the yarn to be made with a higher content of renewable resources.
Hyosung commercially introduced USDA and SGS-certified creora Bio-Based spandex made with 30 percent renewable resources in 2021, which has been successfully adopted by leading global brands. According to LCA, the manufacture of 1kg creora Bio-Based spandex reduces its carbon footprint by 20% as compared to the production 1kg of conventional spandex.
At Performance Days and Functional Fabric Fair, Hyosung also will present innovations in its GRS-certified, 100 percent post-consumer recycled regen Ocean nylon made from discarded fishing nets. The company recently collaborated with Dimension-Polyant, a sailcloth producer and manufacturer of durable X-Pac waterproof laminates developed for packs and bags, which has adopted the fiber in the construction of its X-Pac VX21 Black – a four-layer laminate that’s rugged, flexible, and waterproof.
At Kingpins Amsterdam, a trade show devoted to the denim community, Hyosung will present innovations with its creora 3D Max spandex. Hyosung’s creora 3D Max spandex delivers high-performance stretch and recovery with a small portion of spandex content allowing the garment to be recycled.
To help product developers and designers conceive garments made with its innovative yarns, Hyosung will present an assortment of multi-function fabrics and concept garments developed by its Fashion Design Center (FDC) at each show.
