Hyosung attends Global Fashion Summit 2026
Under the theme ‘Building Resilient Futures’, Hyosung demonstrated how bio-based spandex is progressing toward broader commercial adoption through infrastructure, supply chain integration and cross-sector collaboration.
During the summit’s panel discussion, The Decarbonisation Pathway: Transitions and Turning Points, Sora Yoo, Hyosung’s vice president of marketing, addressed why recycled spandex alone is not enough and explained why a successful shift from fossil-based stretch technology needs industrial-scale infrastructure, trusted sourcing systems and long-term value chain partnerships that enable brands to adopt lower-impact alternatives.
As part of its summit programme, Hyosung also exclusively aired its episode of Fashion Redressed II, produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions as part of the series presented by Global Fashion Agenda, which explores the journey from sugarcane field to finished spandex and the work involved in reengineering stretch materials away from fossil-based inputs.
