"Soon nearly 70 percent of the LYCRA® fiber content will be derived from annually renewable feedstock, thus potentially reducing the carbon footprint of LYCRA® fiber by up to 44 percent, per data from a screening life cycle assessment (LCA)*," said Hegedus. "This sustainable solution is expected to deliver equivalent performance to our original fiber, helping to reduce our environmental impact and that of our customers."
"Elastane is often seen as a contaminant in textile recycling, but The LYCRA Company has committed to developing circular solutions that address this issue," said Ceria. "Our presentation describes our development of recycling technologies that transform stretch fabrics at end-of-life into recycled elastane."
