Multiple Recognitions for Sustainable FENC Products at ISPO Textrends



FENC submitted six innovative products for consideration at the ISPO Textrends in Germany, and all six were recognized by the jury. Three were chosen as Top10 for excellence and three as Selection for their outstanding performance. This incredible feat is a testament to FENC’s leadership role in sustainability, innovation and the development of functional materials. The features of the products awarded as Top10 are as follows:
1. FENC® Eco-friendly EM2/Modal fabric:
The production of FENC® Eco-friendly EM2/Modal fabric involves low-temperature spinning, which requires a temperature 20°C lower than that for the regular polyester production, thus reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

2. FENC® ECO Seam Tape:
FENC® ECO Seam Tape, which is made of recycled polyester, has over 50% recycled content. The product reduces environmental impact as it can be recycled with waste apparel.

3. FENC® LC23002 (rPET/NY6 microfilaments nonwoven):
FENC® LC23002 (rPET/NY6 microfilaments nonwoven), which is composed of 80% recycled polyester and 20% nylon 6, is a microfilament nonwoven fabric produced with the hydroentangling technique. The finishing process is water- and solvent-free. Compared to conventional production techniques, this technology cuts carbon emissions significantly and produces products with exceptional abrasion resistance.

ISPO Textrends, which is considered the Oscars in the global textile industry, is a world-class platform that showcases textile products. The awards allow FENC’s sustainable innovations and its R&D prowess to shine under international spotlight. They also motivate FENC to lead the market trends by capturing the needs of consumers around the globe.
