“This textile waste technology is the first of a number of planned innovations from The Lycra Company aimed at advancing the circular economy,” says Hegedus. “As we all know, waste is a huge issue for our industry and our planet, and we need to work together to meet this challenge. Our Planet Agenda Sustainability Platform is based on the belief that in order to have a healthy business, we must have a healthy planet. Toward this end, we’re excited about taking this first step toward circularity.”
