If you’re looking for sustainable fashion containing recycled materials, look for LYCRA® EcoMade fiber. LYCRA® fiber waste from the production process is recycled and turned into LYCRA® EcoMade fiber. This enables us to reduce waste and meet your need for more sustainable clothing.

We take yarn that for whatever reason didn’t make it into a shipping box, cut it and dissolve it into a polymer solution, mix it with regular (polymer) solution, and then make it into LYCRA® fiber again. This helps us contribute to the environment, while giving customers and consumers something they’re looking for.”
