WILMINGTON - The Lycra Company has launched a new fibre for the athleisure, activewear and swimwear sectors, which, made from 60% recycled PET and 14.4% from other bio-derived resources, is said to offer a range of sustainability benefits.
Branded as Lycra FiT400, the GRS-certified fibre includes two different polyester polymers which together create a helical crimp, providing permanent stretch and recovery properties, as well as breathability, cooling comfort and chlorine resistance to fabrics.
