“As consumers increasingly seek out sustainability, we continue to expand our offering of eco-friendly solutions to help our customers reach their sustainability goals,” said Mike Simko, global marketing director, Hyosung-Textiles. “These goals can range from a focus on waste reduction to the elimination of using non-renewable resources, along with many others in between.”
At the online fair, Hyosung is highlighting its sustainable stretch and multi-fibre solutions to include its GRS-certified creora regen elastane and Mipan regen nylon both made with 100 per cent reclaimed waste, along with its regen polyester made from 100 per cent post-consumer waste. Hyosung is also presenting the expansion of its multi-functional 100 per cent recycled fibre offering to include regen askin (cool-touch with UV-protection polyester), regen cotna (cotton-like feel, quick-drying and pill-resistant polyester), regen aerolight (moisture-wicking, soft-touch, light-weight comfort polyester), regen aerocool (rapid moisture wicking, quick-drying polyester) and Mipan regen robic (high-tenacity nylon).
Hyosung x Lenzing Home Everywhere is a collaborative collection of eco-friendly fabrics made from comfortable, functional and sustainable yarns. The collection is comprised of three fabric concept groups, which includes a variety of unique blends featuring Lenzing’s cellulose fibres and Hyosung’s range of multi-function elastane, polyester and nylon fibres. The fabric concept groups are: Color your Confidence, Sumptuous Sensations, and Versatile Function.

Sumptuous Sensations: Hyosung 100% recycled regen aerolight polyester with TENCEL™ Modal fibres featuring Micro Technology offer super-fine touch and exquisite softness, producing lightweight, long-lasting, naturally comfortable fibres.
Versatile Function: A functional collection featuring Hyosung’s Mipan aqua-X nylon or aeroheat EX™ polyester with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres for temperature regulating, moisture management and UV protection.
