Your Bio Transition, Powered by Sugarcane

*Fashion Redressed II video series, produced for Hyosung TNC by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions

Fashion Redressed II is a film series that unpacks some of the fashion world’s biggest
challenges and introduces you to the people working to solve them.
Our video takes you on a journey from a sugarcane field in Brazil to Vietnam where Hyosung BIO
Spandex is developed in our integrated facilities, and the work involved in reengineering stretch
materials away from fossil-based inputs at scale.

Initiating a New journey to Reduce Carbon Footprint

With strengthened global unity and responsibility in response to climate change, the expansion of carbon reduction regulations centered around the EU and individual countries is interconnected with our product sustainability initiatives.

Commencing in October 2023, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Policy (Carbon Tax), applied on a trial basis, imposes taxes on the carbon emissions embedded in all products imported into the EU. This regulation aims to minimize the social costs of climate change. Furthermore, the heightened awareness of sustainability among nations, corporations, and individuals necessitates enhanced transparency in the handling of both ecological and human rights aspects deriving from raw materials.

Taking responsibility for our society’s sustainable future, Hyosung TNC has assumed a leading position in the development of certified eco-friendly products to help reduce harmful carbon emissions among various industries.
To support our position, we have launched a rebranding initiative to enhance the market presence of our existing ‘regen’ recycled product brand. Through this rebranding program, we are broadening the scope of our sustainable product line beyond recycled products, which contribute towards carbon reduction to include products made from renewable resources such as bio-based materials.

Hyosung TNC’s BIO Spandex/Elastane delivers enhanced sustainability and reliability.
