Rifil launches Infinity Yarns with TAF’s Regel

Romania’s RIFIL Group is introducing a new range of environmentally friendly worsted yarns called Infinity® that is manufactured with Regel™, a recycled acrylic fiber, with GRS® certification. In January of this year, the new high-performance yarn will be introduced during the Pitti Filati trade expo in Florence, Italy.

Regel™, a recycled acrylic fiber by RIFIL, is used to make Infinity®. A high-performing recycled yarn appropriate for all end uses is Infinity®. It is designed to maintain all of the essential qualities, including a natural hand-feel, rich hues, color brightness, comfort performances, and transparency and traceability from waste to retail.

The largest producer of acrylic and Wool Blend Yarns in the world, RIFIL Group is based in Romania and uses cutting-edge technology to produce high-quality products. REFIL produces 20,000,000 kg of thread annually for use in indoor and outdoor furniture, knitwear, outdoor and indoor fashion, and fabrics resistant to weather and sunlight.

Olmo Falco, Group Manager RIFIL Group, said that he is excited to launch a line of environmentally friendly yarns created from recycled acrylic fiber. This enables them to take a step in a circular path that helps save natural resources without sacrificing the performance of the end product. They are aware that TAF is a component of the Circular Economy that forms the basis of the ABG Group’s sustainability strategy. Therefore, they have complete faith in their high-performance materials to provide Infinity® a new sustainable option for their clients.

Tuhin Kulshreshtha, Head of Marketing, TAF, said that they’re thrilled to see RIFIL transform Regel™ into high-performance and superior yarn. REFIL’s knowledge and technology merging with Regel™ will push the development of high-performance Infinity® to positive transformation within the industry and customers’ expectations.

Regel™ is produced from recycled acrylic waste and is functionally similar to acrylic fiber in terms of warmth, comfort, and brilliant colors. It is developed using an authentic and personal chemical recycling method. Regel™ is a bluesign® APPROVED and GRS certified acrylic fiber.
