Wallace Hume Carothers, he was a chemist who taught organic chemistry at Illinois and Harvard. Since in college, he is so clever that it was nicknamed a professor or doctor. He moved to the company's lab, led the team and studied the polymer, and he mixed two kinds of carbon compound solutions and made a famous invention that changed the world of 20th century. Nylon was called 'a thread of miracle than a spider's web and a tougher miracle than steel.' Nylon was developed with toothbrushes and women's stockings, making it an explosive popularity. During World War II, it was also true with ropes and parachutes. Wallace Carraders is not as well as Nylon he invented by creating a synthetic fiber of projections, it was a hidden innovator that changed the daily lives of humanity as well as fashion.#2
Margaret Hamilton, she was studied programming in his own after majoring in mathematics in college and worked as a contractive programmer in MIT. She was recognized for his skills and participated in the IPollo flight project of the NASA at a young age. It was the first programmer and first woman who worked for NASA. She developed an error avoidance software in preparation for the spaceship's overload during the moon landing. she have been working hard for a long time and hard work, but everyone laughed. we don't need these software for perfectly trained astronauts. On July 20, 1969, three astronauts, including Neil Armstrong, landed only a few minutes ago, and the computer caused a malfunction, and Margaret Hamilton was able to finish the mission safely. It's not as well as Neil Armstrong, but Margaret Hamilton is a merit and an innovator who created the history of the moon exploration.#3
HyosungTNC does not have scientists or chemists who will remain in history. However, there is a technology development and excellent achievements that will remain in history. It is the power that developed the world market share in eight years by developing the Spandex as a latecomer, and created eco-friendly yarns with waste nets and waste PETs when no one thought of eco-friendly materials. HyosungTNC, the parent of Hyosung Group's history, has been shown only a certain part like a month that can only be seen on Earth due to the nature of B2B companies. By silently kept in place and researching and developing, we have changed the world to new products that have not been in the world. In the meantime, HyosungTNC was firmly established as a global textile company. It succeeded in the myth of 'Korea's first, the world's first'. Myths achieved by what others don't even think about, before others and better than others. Now I want to show things that HyosungTNC has not yet shown to the world, as in the back of the moon. DNA, spirit, effort, and new values and visions that have been HyosungTNC. HyosungTNC wants to be a life innovator who goes closer to everyday life and makes tomorrow. Like an active scientist with sophisticated, agile, competent, competent and profitable, and an active scientist who has both responsibility and confidence, a company that creates a sustainable future and creates a sustainable future of humanity is the world. The technology that Hyosungtnc changes the future is the future. Innovation for Better Lifestyle & Tomorrow -

The Second Type of Nylon Made by Human
Nylon is the firstly invented material in 1935 by Wallace Hume Carothers,
an esteemed American scientist at DuPont.
Such an invention revolutionized the textile industry with its remarkable blend of softness and strength.
In 2007, Hyosung TNC achieved a groundbreaking feat by pioneering nylon production using discarded fishing nets from the vast sea.
This breakthrough marked the birth of the second nylon, propelling the textile industry towards an era of eco-friendliness.
Post-consumer Recycled Yarn that Saves the Ocean
Post-consumer recycling is to recycle waste materials that can no longer serve their original purpose after being utilized by consumers. Abandoned or lost fishing nets, floating in the ocean like a ghost, pose a grave threat to marine life. Even if they are collected and incinerated, they still generate significant pollutants. regen Ocean Nylon—a 100% post-consumer recycled yarn—safeguards marine ecosystems from these remnants of fishing gear and protects our planet.
Transforming Byproducts into regen Nylon
regen nylon is a 100% pre-consumer recycled nylon that is manufactured in the same process as regular yarn without requiring additional recycling procedures. Leveraging Hyosung TNC's cutting-edge nylon production technology, regenTM nylon upholds exceptional quality and functionality.
Reducing Resource Consumption and Carbon Emissions
Due to the pre-treatment process including collecting discarded fishing nets, removing impurities, and cleansing, regen nylon requires more effort and higher costs. Nonetheless, global customers committed to reducing carbon emissions and achieving a circular economy wholeheartedly endorse and embrace regen nylon. Because they are already aware of regen nylon's achievements such as a 27% reduction in resource consumption and a 28% decrease in CO2 emissions, as well as the brand's values beyond mere numerical figures. -
The Experiment of Global No. 1 Spandex
Polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG), a petroleum-based compound,
is the primary raw material for spandex.
Hyosung TNC stands as the sole Korean company to independently develop and manufacture PTMG.
We dedicated six years to PTMG research which determines pivotal factors for spandex's properties and successfully identified the optimal combination for producing spandex.
By using less PTMG, we also explore methods to minimize our carbon footprint.
After years of research to discover greener raw materials that can be an alternative to PTMG, we have finally come up with a textile known as regen spandex.
The Triumphant Return of Spandex Waste
The production process of spandex is accompanied by a substantial amount of byproducts. The byproducts are industrial waste, which shares similarities with the raw material but poses a burden on the environment. So, we came up with the idea to collect the waste and process them for reuse. This is how the history of "regenTM spandex" began.
100% Pre-consumer Recycled Yarn
Pre-consumer recycling refers to the recycling of materials prior to their delivery to an end-user. Similar to gathering leftover dough to bake fresh bread, we meticulously remove impurities from the byproducts generated in the production process, finely chop them, melt them down, and put them into the same process as regular yarn to produce fully recycled spandex.
1 ton of regen spandex has an effect equivalent to planting 889 pine trees
As regen spandex can be quickly set at lower temperatures compared to conventional spandex during production, it can generate fewer emissions to that extent. Producing 1 ton of regen spandex is equivalent to planting 889 30-year-old pine trees. Despite the significant reduction in petrochemical raw materials and energy consumption, our spandex products have maintained the same quality as the world's no. 1 market share holder. -
Turning Waste PET Bottles into High-functional Polyester
Another recycling textile developed following the nylon made of waste fishing nets.
regenTM polyester is 100% post-consumer recycled yarn created through a meticulous process of collecting, sorting, washing, and grinding waste plastic bottles.
regenTM polyester began as a project to tackle 300,000 tons of discarded plastic bottles annually and now it has generated significant interest and demand for recycled fibers both at home and abroad.
World's First to Obtain the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) Certification
In 2008, when regen polyester was first commercialized, it obtained the GRS certification from Control Union, a Dutch eco-certification company. It is the world's first polyester recycled fiber to obtain such a certification.
First Korean Company to Receive the Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Certification
Hyosung TNC, through regenTM polyester, actively engages in environmental protection initiatives. With a focus on safeguarding the ocean, marine life, and humans from plastic waste (taking up 80% of marine litter), Hyosung TNC has undertaken various projects. Among these is regenTM Ocean Polyester, which utilizes waste plastic bottles collected from the ocean. Remarkably, regen Ocean Polyester became the first in Korea to receive the OBP certification.What is Ocean Bound Plastic?
The OBP certification was developed by Zero Plastic Oceans,
a non-governmental organization dedicated to addressing plastic pollution issues,
and facilitated by Control Union under the partnership.
Reducing Landfills and Carbon Emissions
The effectiveness of regen polyester has been verified to generate fewer carbon emissions through life cycle assessment (LCA). -
Exploring the Limitless Possibilities of Nature-inspired Technology
Can we replace oil and coal with a natural source as the raw material for spandex?
Hyosung TNC confidently can say "yes" to this seemingly unrealistic question.
Is it possible to achieve the same elasticity and resilience as spandex using plant-based resources found in nature?
Not many would dare to take on this challenge due to the unique features of textile products.
However, Hyosung TNC has contemplated and arrived at a resolute conclusion. Yes, it is indeed possible.
The World’s First Corn-based Spandex
Hyosung TNC is a pioneer in developing and commercializing spandex derived from corn extract, a plant-based raw material. It is a sustainable material that can reduce carbon emissions throughout the extraction and manufacturing process of plant-based materials. regen Bio-based is made of non-edible industrial corn cultivated using an eco-friendly farming method certified by the US Department of Agriculture.
Gained the Eco-Product Certification Mark
regen Bio-based has received the prestigious global green certification, "Eco-Product Certification Mark," from Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS) in Switzerland. Established in 1878, SGS is a renowned inspection, verification, testing, and certification organization. It provides certificates to products that utilize environmentally friendly raw materials, pose no harm to humans, and are manufactured following eco-friendly practices under ESG management.
Reducing Water Consumption and Carbon Emissions
According to the life cycle assessment (LCA) results, regen Bio-based requires 39% less water and generates 23% less CO2 compared to conventional spandex. For every 1 ton produced, the carbon emissions reduced are equivalent to the amount absorbed by 378 pine trees in a year. regen Bio-based maintains the same elasticity and resilience as regular spandex, making it suitable for all applications where conventional spandex is utilized. -
Eco-friendly Engineering Nylon Chips
Hyosung TNC pioneers the world's first proprietary technology for recycling discarded fishing nets into nylon yarn and nylon chips.
One of our remarkable achievements is regenTM INDUSTRY, a recycled nylon chip derived from abandoned fishing nets. It possesses the same exceptional quality as conventional nylon chips while contributing to marine debris reduction and carbon footprint reduction.
From Nylon Yarn to Core Material for Hydrogen Fuel Tanks
regen INDUSTRY finds applications in various fields such as auto parts, electrical and electronic devices, cable ties, films, and fishing nets. Furthermore, it has made its way into the liners of high-pressure vessels used for storing and transporting hydrogen, a pivotal element of renewable energy. Compared to conventional metal or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liners, regen INDUSTRY exhibits superior characteristics: lighter weight, higher impact resistance, and enhanced gas barrier effect. Hydrogen containers employing regenTM INDUSTRY have successfully passed the UN/ECE R134, affirming their functionality, quality, and technical maturity.
regen INDUSTRY Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Hyosung TNC consistently conducts LCAs for regen INDUSTRY. By systematically and objectively evaluating its environmental impact throughout its life cycle, we strive to advance our efforts toward a greener future.
