The LYCRA Company, announced that it has launched THERMOLITE EcoMade fibre made from 100% textile waste, now for insulation applications.
The LYCRA Company is a global leader in developing innovative fibre and technology solutions for the textile and apparel industry. The new fibre for battings is the latest sustainable offering from one of the most recognized warming technology brands among consumers worldwide.
This new warming technology involves recycling textile waste from cutting room floors that would have been sent to a landfill or incinerated, and transforming it into high performance fibres for insulation. Once fabric scraps are collected from garment makers, they go through a four-step process before becoming a finished product: 1) depolymerization and refining 2) chip manufacture 3) fibre formation and 4) batting and insulation production.
Arnaud Ruffin, vice president, brands and retail, The LYCRA Company, said that, the new textile waste fibre can be used in unique batting constructions to deliver outstanding warming performance infused with unparalleled sustainable attributes.
By using textile waste as an input to make commercial performance fibres, The LYCRA Company is providing a solution to help the industry deal with its textile waste problem, as well as creating a starting point for circularity. THERMOLITE EcoMade insulation made from textile waste is available now. To set up a meeting, contact a representative of The LYCRA Company. For more product information, visit the website.
