Fibre developer Hyosung has confirmed that the group will make the production of biobased materials a strategic focus. 

As we reported in issue two of Sportstextiles magazine, production of biobased butanediol (bio-BDO), a building block for elastane fibres, recently began at a new factory in Vietnam. Following this, the group’s chairman, Hyun-Joon Cho, has said connecting bio-based raw materials with finished spandex fibre will be “a core pillar of Hyosung’s next century”.
