HYOSUNG TNC

Company collaborates with IKAR on CREORA® EasyFlex Elastane seamless bodywear collection March 12, 2026; Seoul South Korea – With the focus on soft stretch for exceptional comfort and superior performance, Hyosung TNC looks forward to presenting fiber innovations that capture this growing trend in activewear and bodywear markets at Performance Days Munich this March 18-19. Featured will be the company’s CREORA® EasyFlex Elastane. Designed for comfort, CREORA® EasyFlex Elastane provides four-way stretch, gentle support, and a second-skin feel against the body. Unlike conventional elastane, it enhances ease of movement in everyday essential from hosiery and socks to underwear, leggings, and activewear. Thanks to its excellent recovery and shape stability, CREORA® EasyFlex also ensures size inclusivity, with one size comfortably fitting a variety of body types. A dyeable version is also available, ensuring superior color consistency and reduced grin-through. To support brands and retailers in developing garments that follow the comfort powered by performance trend, Hyosung TNC has collaborated with IKAR, a global leader in textile development that provides apparel design and manufacturing solutions, to develop a seamless active and bodywear collection powered by CREORA® EasyFlex that will be featured at the company’s booth. From Nature to Performance Fiber – regen® BIO Elastane At Performance Days, Hyosung TNC will share the latest developments with its new regen™ BIO Elastane derived from sugarcane. Production of the low-impact fiber will commence next month (April 2026), a major development that began in 2024 with the company’s $1 billion investment in a new bio BDO plant in Vietnam near its established elastane manufacturing facility. BDO (Butanediol) is a chemical traditionally made from non-renewable resources used to make PTMG, the key raw material used in elastane. In partnership with Geno, a sustainable materials leader, Hyosung TNC can now produce bio BDO directly from sugarcane through a one step process that replaces fossil fuel consumption and reduces carbon emissions. “With this development, Hyosung TNC is the first to establish the world’s only vertically integrated production system from bio-based BDO to bio-based spandex ensuring reliable production and supply stability without compromising the fiber’s performance”, said Sora Yoo, Vice President Marketing, Hyosung TNC. The company’s bio BDO facility has an annual production capacity of up to 50,000 tons of bio-BDO, with the potential to scale up to 200,000 tons per year over time. In terms of transparency and traceability, the sugarcane feedstock, sourced from Brazil, is verified under the VIVE Program. A full LCA for the new product will be available later in 2026. Last fall, Hyosung TNC and Lenzing Group collaborated on a yoga collection made with regen™ BIO Elastane and with various blends of Lenzing’s TENCEL™ and ECOVERO™ made with REFIBRA™ technology and Hyosung TNC’s certified regen® BIO Elastane partly made with renewable resources along with certified 100% recycled regen™ Elastane. Concept garments and fabrics made with these innovative fibers will be presented at the show.

Recycling PET bottles into high-performance fibers, multi-functional regen™ Polyester offers cooling, moisture-wicking, and lightweight benefits. With Hyosung TNC's innovative technology, we're transforming waste into functional, sustainable polyester fibers while reducing carbon emissions for a greener future.

Did you know that 640,000 tons of discarded fishing nets end up in our oceans every year, endangering countless marine life? In response, Hyosung TNC achieved a pioneering and global milestone in 2007 – the repurposing of discarded fishing nets into recycled nylon, turning waste material into a valuable resource. This product is called regen™ Ocean Nylon.

For Hyosung, our 100% recycled fiber portfolio is just the start—we go beyond. 🚀 We’re pushing boundaries with our regen™ BIO Spandex, partly made from renewable resources to minimize carbon emissions while delivering top-tier performance. And we’re not stopping there – beginning in 2026, we’re launching our fully integrated production system from raw material to fiber.

Hyosung, Loop Industries And Pleatsmama Collaborate To Pioneer Circular Fashion With Infinite Loop™ Textile-to-Textile Recycling Technology Loop Industries supplied 100% recycled, virgin-quality Polyester chips derived from low-value textile waste. Hyosung transformed Loop Polyester chips into high-performance drawn textured yarn (DTY). Pleatsmama crafted stylish, eco-friendly handbags emphasizing circular design principles. Loop Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOOP) ( (“Loop), a clean technology company dedicated to accelerating circular fashion economy by manufacturing 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) plastic and textile-to-textile polyester fiber (T2T), today announced a three-way collaboration with Hyosung, a complete sustainable textile solutions provider, and Pleatsmama, a sustainable fashion brand, to produce 100% recycled drawn textured yarn used in limited-edition handbags. The yarn was manufactured using virgin-quality Loop’s T2T polyester produced through the Infinite Loop™ textile-to-textile recycling technology, utilizing low-value mixed polyester textile waste as feedstock. Hyosung leveraged its expertise in advanced materials to spin the yarn, ensuring premium quality and performance, while Pleatsmama transformed the yarn into stylish, sustainable handbags. This collaboration highlights the potential of circular fashion and innovative recycling technologies to drive sustainability across industries. Loop’s T2T polyester fiber is recognized for its virgin-quality properties, seamlessly integrating into existing supply chains and manufacturing processes without compromising on quality or aesthetics. The polyester also delivers significant environmental benefits, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% and requiring up to 91% less non-renewable primary energy compared to virgin polyester production from fossil fuels. Polyester, the most widely used fiber globally, accounts for approximately half of the textile market, reaching 53 million metric tons annually. This presents a significant challenge, as polyester fiber waste is not suitable for traditional mechanical recycling methods and often ends up in landfills or is incinerated. Loop’s Infinite Loop™ technology provides a solution by recycling even the lowest-value polyester waste, regardless of color or material composition, into 100% recycled virgin-quality Polyester . This closed-loop approach offers a sustainable alternative for the textile industry, addressing the growing issue of textile waste while maintaining exceptional quality and performance. “Teaming with Loop Industries and our brand partner, Pleatsmama, marks a significant milestone in our efforts to support our customers in achieving their sustainability objectives and expanding solutions that benefit both current and future generations," said Chihyung Kim, CEO of Hyosung TNC "We admire Loop for its high quality and its capacity to divert textile waste from landfills and incineration, while reducing the reliance on virgin polyester by minimizing raw material extraction." “The collaboration with industry leaders such as Hyosung & Pleatsmama demonstrates the potential of our Infinite Loop™ technology to transition from linear to circular fashion,” said Giovanni Catino, Vice President of Sales and Business Development. “By converting low-value mixed polyester textile waste into virgin-quality polyester, we’re not only tackling the pressing issue of textile waste but also enabling brands to deliver premium products with a closed-loop solution that meets both quality and environmental standards.” About Hyosung Hyosung is a complete sustainable textile solutions provider that produces world-class products, providing continuous innovation to the textile industry.
