Osprey and Hyosung partner on pack collection for next spring
Technical packs brand Osprey and fibre manufacturer Hyosung are collaborating on a collection of carrying packs for spring 2021, which will use 100% recycled nylon in one of Osprey’s most popular lines.
The multisport Talon/Tempest series of bags has been redesigned for the new collection, and will now feature Hyosung’s new GRS-certified, 100% recycled Mipan regen robic high-tenacity nylon. The companies said this is one of the first commercial uses of the fabric.
The nylon is made with 100% reclaimed waste. According to Mike Simko, Hyosung global marketing director, for every kilo of recycled nylon Hyosung makes, the equivalent of six to seven kilos of CO2 of Global Warming Potential is saved.
“Supporting technological advancements in recycled materials is critical to busting the myth that recycled materials means reduced performance,” said Mark Galbraith, vice president of product for Osprey.
