Hyosung has introduced a swimwear innovation developed to protect the oceans.
The business has partnered with Hung Yen Knitting & Dyeing to deliver the N850 FishTale, a swimwear fabric made from an 80/20 blend of Hyosung regen® ocean 100% post-consumer nylon made from discarded fishing nets, and RCS-certified 100% recycled creora® regen elastane.
FishTale fabric contributes to cleaning our oceans by collecting discarded fishing nets and turning them into regen ocean recycled nylon. According to an independent third-party life cycle assessment, the manufacture of regen ocean reduces CO2 emissions by 73%, fossil resource use by 75.7%, and water consumption by 98.6% compared to conventional nylon. Hyosung’s creora regen elastane is made from reclaimed waste, saving non-renewable resources.
