Ambercycle continues to ink partnerships to promote circularity in woven yarn as it enters a new strategic cooperation agreement with global manufacturer Highsun Holding Group (HSCC), a polymer and yarn production space supplier.
The company expects the “collaboration to focus on scaling textile-to-textile (T2T) closed-loop recycling systems, establishing innovative solutions across the industry’s value chain and jointly promoting the transformation and upgrading of the global textile value chain,” it stated in a media release.
“As core strategic partners, Ambercycle and HSCC will accelerate the industry’s transition to a circular economy through joint recycling fiber market development, end-of-life textile feedstock sourcing, joint engineering collaboration, new material production, and the promotion of quality and industry standards for circular materials,” the company continued.
“At HSCC, we are committed to leading the future of sustainable materials by incorporating cutting-edge recycling technologies into our production processes,” said Mei Zhen, vice president at Highsun Holding Group. “Through this partnership with Ambercycle, we are accelerating the adoption of recycled materials, helping to reduce dependency on virgin resources and drive meaningful change in the industry.”
HSCC, recognized as a polymer and yarn production supplier, has an advanced tech R&D center in the Netherlands and scales globally from its base in China. By replacing virgin polyester and nylon with textile-to-textile recycled materials, this collaboration aims to “redefine how synthetics are produced, minimizing waste, reducing carbon emissions, and creating a more decarbonized supply chain.”
“We are glad to announce our partnership with HSCC, as it represents the new era for circularity,” said Shay Sethi, co-founder and CEO of Ambercycle. “Scaling textile-to-textile solutions requires deep partnerships, innovation and development of the global apparel value chain to work in harmony with the planet. By partnering with HSCC, we’re establishing a foundational partnership for circular systems to work at scale; this is how we turn circularity from an industry-wide ambition into a global reality.”
With HSCC’s resources in the global industry chain and Ambercycle’s experience in recycled materials, the two companies said they “aim to establish industry-wide standards for circularity, ensuring that regenerated synthetics are traceable, high-performance and scalable.”
