Lenzing and Hyosung Launch New Sustainable Fabric Collection

“This Lenzing and Hyosung collaboration fits perfectly under the slogan Better Together” says Andreas Guertier, Head of Active and Outdoor Global Business Development for Lenzing AG. “The combination of natural softness, comfort and performance from Tencel, and the power, fit and recovery of creora elastane allows us to offer customers new products for sports and leisure clothing with unrivalled sustainable credentials” added Guertier.

The collection offers Lenzing Ecovero with creora eco-soft spandex/elastane for a softer touch, whiter whites and low heat settable for reduced energy consumption. Tencel Modal and creora PowerFit delivers a smooth, natural feel with superior shaping and compression, whilst Tencel Modal and creora Black creates breathable, softer touch and deeper black fabrics with no grin through.

“We are delighted to partner with Lenzing with this innovative fabric collection to deliver enhanced performance with products that use less energy and water and improved environmental care that today’s informed consumers demand” says Simon Whitmarsh-Knight, EMEA Marketing Director, Performance Textiles Business, Hyosung.

“Collaboration is the way forward as the textile industry seeks creative and performance solutions throughout the value chain and to meet changing market dynamics. This is just the start of our cooperation with our friends at Lenzing!”
