Hyosung will present its latest sustainable fiber developments to the tightknit denim community in Kingpins24 FLASH. The Kingpins24 Flash is a virtual event taking place on February 23-24, 2021. Among the sustainable fiber developments, creora® regen spandex is worth mentioning.
Creora® regen spandex is made from reclaimed waste to denim industry’s agenda, mills, and brands seeking fiber technology solutions to help them create the most responsibly made, eco-friendly denim products with transparency, sustainability, and traceability in mind.
According to Simko, denim made with 3D Max creora® spandex eliminates the need for stretch polyester, and the fabric can be treated for environmentally friendly laser washing to create distressed looks. In addition to its 100% recycled regen creora® spandex and 3D-Max creora® spandex, Hyosung will present the following eco-friendly and multi-function fibers:
- MIPAN regen aqua X: recycled cool-touch nylon with UV protection
- Regen askin: recycled cool-touch polyester with UV protection
- Regen aerolight: recycled lightweight polyester with high-performance moisture managementCreora regen spandex has caught the attention of Tejidos Royo Company.
