Fashion for Good to test bio-based and recycled elastane
12/02/2026
Amsterdam-based sustainability hub Fashion for Good has launched a project to validate bio-based and recycled elastane through pilot-scale testing and demonstrator garments with the aim of increasing its adoption.
The stretch fibre is typically added in blends of 1–5% by weight in cotton or wool garments and up to 20% in polyester or polyamide garments but can act as a “contaminant” in textile-to-textile recycling feedstocks.
