New lease of life for Lycra’s fibre waste
24/09/2019
The company will use Lycra fibre waste from its own production sites to make the new product, recycling waste material that has not previously come into use by consumers. In total, 20% of the content of EcoMade will come from this “pre-consumer content”, Lycra said.
At the time of the announcement, the company tied this new product in with its wider sustainability platform, Planet Agenda, saying that the programme’s first priority is to minimise the waste it generates.
It said it will use EcoMade to make the majority of its Coolmax and Thermolite products by 2021.
