Hyosung and Ambercycle to scale circular polyester

Hyosung TNC has partnered with material science company Ambercycle to become the first manufacturer in South Korea to introduce Ambercycle’s textile-to-textile, circular polyester material cycora® into supply chains.

The collaboration advances the partners’ shared vision of a circular textile ecosystem that repurposes end-of-life products into high-performing fibres.

Based in Los Angeles, Ambercycle is rapidly scaling cycora, a regenerated polyester chip that meets the spinnability standards of virgin materials. The company’s molecular regeneration technology will add to a growing portfolio of circular solutions manufactured by Hyosung TNC.

‘Our collaboration with Ambercycle is another important step to help our customers meet their sustainability goals and scale solutions that both present and future generations can enjoy,’ said Chi Hyung Kim, CEO, Hyosung TNC. ‘We’re impressed with cycora for its quality but also its potential to divert tons of textile waste from landfills and incinerators and reduce the extraction of raw materials.’
