Eco-friendly textiles by Hyosung TNC at US Outdoor Retailer Exhibition

The Outdoor Retailer (OR) Show 2023, the largest outdoor industry exhibition in North America, was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, the United States, from June 19 to 21, according to Hyosung TNC.

Hyosung TNC has exhibited Regen Ocean Robic, a high-strength product of Regen Ocean Nylon, which is made by collecting and recycling abandoned fishing nets that are a major contributor to marine plastic pollution, at this year’s OR Show.

Osprey presented their Talon Earth collection for the Spring/Summer 2024 season, which makes use of the Regen Ocean Robic from Hyosung TNC. Recycled fabrics, sewing threads, and zipper chain plastics make up the majority of Talon Earth, a technical backpack. Osprey’s first “bluesign”-approved backpack is comfortable and long-lasting like previous models. MIPAN regen Robic was developed by Hyosung TNC in 2020 after a year of research in close collaboration with Osprey.

Cho Hyun-Joon, Hyosung’s Chairman, stated, “Hyosung TNC is the only company in the world that can produce recycled fibers of the three major synthetic fibers,” adding, “As a leading company in eco-friendly fibers, we will continue to strive for product research and development for a sustainable and active lifestyle.”
