INTRODUCING: THE FIRST SUSTAINABLE SPANDEX SOLUTION AT HYPER SCALE
Say hello to RENEWABLE LYCRA® fiber. It’s the LYCRA® brand stretch you love — made with more sustainable ingredients.
Crafted from 70% renewable content derived from field corn grown in the US Midwest, this fiber has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of LYCRA® fiber by up to 45%*. It delivers the same performance as our classic LYCRA® fiber — with a lighter touch on the planet. So brands and mills can drop it in with ease and get closer to their sustainability goals.
Renewable LYCRA® fiber is available now. Contact our team today to add it to your collections.
