WILMINGTON – The Lycra Company has teamed up with Japanese trading firm Itochu Corporation to launch new functional fibres made from textile waste.
Lycra says the new products lay the groundwork “for a more circular future”, which is one of the brand’s priorities under the framework of its Planet Agenda sustainability platform.
“This collaboration exemplifies the synergistic approach we have to develop products and technologies that support a more sustainable future for our vast global customer base,” said Julien Born, Lycra’s chief commercial officer.
