Hyosung Corporation will be introducing its latest green fibre textile solutions at the international trade fair being organised by ISPO Munich this November 28-30 which the brand says will bring significant benefits across the entire value chain.
The conglomerate will present its range of textiles and finished garments made with SGS certified creora bio-based spandex. The yarn for this material is made by replacing petroleum-based resources with bio-derived materials derived from responsibly grown industrial field corn.

On November 28, Claire O’Neill, European marketing manager of Hyosung and Patrick Van Waes, PDO global marketing director of CovationBio will be holding a discussion on the growing importance of ‘bio-derived materials’ that includes their provenance, positive impact, processing, and product development/application in sportswear.
“While recycled fibres have made great strides in the development of sustainable materials, there is a need to add diversity to the textile fibre market,” said Claire O’Neill, European marketing manager of Hyosung. “By replacing petroleum-based raw materials with renewable corn-based feedstock, Hyosung’s new third-party certified creora bio-based spandex lowers the carbon footprint and reduces reliance on non-renewable resource — complementing the company’s rich portfolio of recycled sustainable solutions.”
Sustainable Textile Solutions for an Interconnected Future
Hyosung’s Fashion Design Center (FDC) has surveyed progressive brands and retailers, spanning the US, Europe, and Asia. FDC’s mega-trend is that of an Interconnected Future, which can be summarised under four sub-trends: Sport Smart, Exploration of Outdoors, Practical Aesthetics, and Science of Comfort. FDC will present its FW 23/24 findings along with concept garments made with textiles featuring Hyosung multi-function yarns below.
