Creative Tech Textile
Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global, a major innovator in sustainable fibers, has introduced a new fiber blend created especially for the US market. The blend uses 40% of the company’s signature eco-friendly fiber, Seawool, made from recycled oyster shells and ocean plastic, combined with 60% cotton. This mix is designed to offer both cost efficiency and sustainability.
Eddie Wang, Founder and CEO of Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global, said, “Seawool is our ‘emerald from the ocean’, a responsible material made from upcycled oyster shells and developed for everyday comfort. With our new 60/40 cotton-Seawool blend, we want to show that circular textile innovation can grow worldwide, support our US customers, and offer fresh opportunities for today’s consumers.”
As demand increases in the US for affordable and eco-friendly fabrics, the cotton-Seawool blend offers the soft, familiar feel of cotton while adding Seawool’s odor control and performance qualities. Many major US retail brands are already using Seawool in their products, proving the value this blend can bring to makers of outdoor, sports and everyday clothing looking for innovative and sustainable materials.
By blending Seawool with cotton, Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global is preparing this innovation for wider use in lifestyle and outerwear categories, expanding beyond only high-performance products.
