Hyosung Presents CREORA® Performance and regen™ Sustainable Textile Innovations at Performance Days Munich
Crafting a better future for activewear and bodywear
With a focus on providing a complete range of textile solutions catered to the active sportswear and bodywear markets, Hyosung looks forward to showcasing a diverse portfolio of its branded CREORA® functional, and regen™ sustainable Elastane, Nylon and Polyester materials at Performance Days Munich booth L17 this March 5-6.
“Sustainable strategies vary widely among brands – whether it is recycled, bio-based or recyclable, so it’s important to provide solutions to meet their individual needs,” said Claire O’Neill, Hyosung TNC director of European brand marketing.
From Nature to Performance Fibre
Creating a more powerful, traceable sustainable story, Hyosung has expanded its regen BIO Elastane offering to include various options for the yarn to be made with a higher content of renewable resources to include new regen BIO + and regen BIO Max. Hyosung was the first company to commercially introduce USDA and SGS-certified regen Bio-Based Elastane made with 30% renewable resources at scale in 2022, which has been successfully adopted by leading global brands such as Pangaia, Icebreaker, Silver Sea Apparel, Van Harvey, and more.
Reuse. Recycle. Regen.
To meet consumer desire for sustainable apparel that offers comfort with performance benefits, Hyosung has uniquely added multi-function properties in the manufacture of its certified 100% recycled Elastane, Nylon and Polyester fibres that include performance benefits such as cooling, warming, anti-odour, and that also offer a natural touch. Hyosung will also present the latest innovations with its GRS-certified, 100% post-consumer recycled regen Ocean Nylon made from discarded fishing nets.
Additionally, through its partnership with Ambercycle, a leading material science company, Hyosung is introducing a circular polyester made from end-of-life textiles into supply chains, further advancing its efforts to create a circular textile ecosystem.
Engineered functional textiles designed for a better life
Continuously innovating, Hyosung anticipates what consumers expect from their performance apparel. Performance Days highlights include:
- CREORA Color+ Elastane overcomes the difficulty of dyeing regular Elastane blended with nylon and natural fibres preventing dreaded grin-through.
- CREORA EasyFlex Elastane provides a luxurious soft feel, maintains a long-lasting comfortable fit, and allows for size inclusivity where one size can fit various body types.
- CREORA Coolwave Nylon delivers long-lasting cooling and approximately 1.5 times faster moisture absorption compared to conventional nylon.
- CREORA Conadu Polyester is a mechanical stretch fibre that provides a cotton-like texture with excellent elasticity and recovery.
To support product developers and designers in creating garments aligned with the diverse luxury sportswear trend, Hyosung will showcase an extensive selection of fabrics and concept garments crafted with its innovative yarns, all designed by its Fashion Design Center team and featured prominently at its booth.
