SPONSORED CONTENT A lively panel discussion on industry's outlook on the status of HIGG and other CSR audits. of the hottest directions at present, with designers and brand developers now thinking of the end of life of a garment, while sourcing fabrics and before even starting to create garments. e challenge is that most post- consumer garments are made of blended fabrics, like poly/spandex and wool/nylon, thus requiring a difficult process of stripping these contrasting yarns apart for recycling. Benefits & Drawbacks I found the conference valuable and informative. And I liked being uninterrupted from the comfort of my desk. What I did miss was the tactility and buzz of being at a show, the bumping into associates, and the industry banter. Also, aer a while, the one-dimensional sourcing became a drain. Based on my experience, e Loop is a great tool particularly when doing a very specific search as the tool takes you to the destination straight away. But, for my purposes, being interested in what's happening in all sectors across the industry, this level of hunting for newness le me with eye strain. At the end of the day, monitoring Performance Days from afar was sufficiently satisfying. With the main topic of the show the journey to carbon neutrality, this time around I did my bit by canceling my flights. n H yosung is proud to announce that two of its specialty fibers made the stringent 2022 ISPO Textrends jury's top ten list – the company's regen xanadu outer layer twill, and 100% recycled regen askin polyester/creora ® regen spandex blend with an ottoman texture. l Hyosung's regen xanadu addresses the desire for a fabric that has mechanical stretch without using spandex.
