Saluzzo Yarns, the Italian company behind Newlife yarn, is to show an extended range of applications at the upcoming Premiere Vision trade fair in New York.

It is introducing fabrics for the corporate wear market, which feature performance attributes including UV protection, quick drying, breathability, anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties.

A collection by Italian fashion designer Peter Langner using Newlife will also be on show, as will the ultra-fine Newlife Light, which is suitable for lingerie, outerwear and base layers.

Newlife is a system of recycled polyester yarns obtained from used plastic bottles, which are transformed into a polymer by way of non-chemical process.

Premiere Vision New York takes place on January 15 and 16.
