Hyosung
Hyosung is set to introduce an extensive range of certified sustainable materials at upcoming shows in New York City this summer, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and sustainability across the value chain.
The company’s expanded offerings include new versions of its regen™ BIO Spandex—regen BIO, regen BIO+, and regen BIO Max Spandex—which replace nearly all petroleum-based raw materials with renewable resources. This move builds on Hyosung’s pioneering commercial-scale production of USDA and SGS certified bio-based elastane in 2022.
Brand partnerships showcasing the fiber include activewear from Pangaia, which blends bio-nylon with regen™ BIO Spandex, and Icebreaker, which combines regen BIO Spandex with merino wool. Other collaborations feature regen™ BIO Spandex mixed with silk, lyocell, and organic cotton, demonstrating its versatility and appeal across various textile applications.
