“The Planet Agenda platform focuses on providing insights, technologies, products, and processes that can contribute to a more sustainable industry. Planet Agenda is built around three interdependent pillars: product sustainability, manufacturing excellence, and corporate responsibility. Through these pillars, we offer a variety of sustainable solutions focused on waste reduction, safe and transparent chemical usage, garment wear life, and sustainable resources.”
The EcoMade family of recycled products now spans the majority of The LYCRA Company’s apparel brands, including LYCRA®, LYCRA® T400®, COOLMAX®, and THERMOLITE® fibers. Earlier this year, the company announced that LYCRA® 166L fiber, which is used in wovens, has been granted Gold Level Material Health Certification from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. All of The LYCRA Company’s LYCRA® fiber apparel production sites are also certified for OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, in accordance with Appendix 6. A complete list of product certifications can be found online.
The LYCRA Company will be showcasing many of these innovations at the upcoming Intertextile Show in Shanghai, September 25-27. Guests are invited to visit the LYCRA® brand stand E56 in Hall 4.1, and E55 in Hall 7.2 (Denim), to see the latest sustainable options and discuss opportunities for collaboration.
