Crystal International joins Textile Exchange to advance circular production

Crystal International Group Limited has deepened its commitment to sustainable apparel production by becoming a Partner Member of Textile Exchange, a global non-profit organization dedicated to promoting environmental responsibility across the fiber and materials industry. This move supports the Group’s Crystal Sustainability Vision 2030, which emphasizes climate action and circularity.

Currently, over 90% of Crystal International’s factories hold sustainable material certifications such as the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and the Organic Content Standard (OCS). At its vertically integrated fabric mill in Vietnam, about 55% of raw materials are certified under GRS or the Recycled Claim Standard. Through its partnership with Textile Exchange, Crystal International aims to accelerate the use of preferred sustainable materials and collaborate with more than 800 other members to reduce environmental impact across the supply chain.

Building on its CirClimate collection, which features biodegradable, climate-responsive fabrics made from sustainable wood pulp and recycled waste, the company continues to develop innovative fiber solutions. In addition, Crystal International has implemented a Corporate Waste Management System Framework to standardize waste handling across its factories and promote textile-to-textile recycling. Five factories have begun sharing textile waste data on the Reverse Resources platform to improve traceability and transparency.

Catherine Chiu, Vice President of Corporate Quality & Sustainability at Crystal International, said, “By combining Textile Exchange’s tools with our own expertise, we aim to collaborate with innovators and pioneers to co-create more environmentally responsible fashion products through collective action.”
