The Japanese textile brand ECOSENSOR™ by Asahi Kasei Advance presents its AW 2024/2025 & SS2025collections at Performance Days, the sustainable sourcing fair for functional fabrics & accessories (15th and 16th March 2023).
ECOSENSOR™ presents 65 new references that boast exceptional performance, catering to the functional requirements of high-intensity sports and ‘urban challenges’. An offer that is also looking at contemporary consumer needs in terms of ‘unlocking special values’ thanks to a strong sourcing choice based on recycled and certified materials. It is key for ECOSENSOR™ to transform the ‘waste criticality’ into a new fabric range able to combine active climate control with exquisite touch, lightness, comfort with dyeing and finishing by the dyehouse which is always guaranteed by Oekotex Standard 100 or/and bluesign®. ECOSENSOR™ stands out as a unique eco-high-tech performance proposition covering different market applications with 40 items for SPORT WOVENS, 17 for SPORT KNIT, 5 for INNERWEAR and 3 for OUTERWEAR.
For Innerwear:
ESL1-06740 is made by special recycled polyester which can achieve quick dry thanks to“W” yarn shape.
Almost 99% of the collection is composed of certified fibers and 100% of the stretch articles (representing 20% of the collection) are made with ROICA™ EF by Asahi Kasei, the recycled stretch yarn made from pre-consumer materials.
Furthermore, almost 97% of the whole collection is made with recycled high tech fibres (recycled polyammide 66.54%, recycled polyester 28.95%, ROICA™ EF 3.25%); the remaining 3.08% is made with Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei, the unique fiber with a circular economy footprint obtained from cotton linters through a closed-loop process ensuring certified sustainability credentials through its transparent and traceable approach.
Bemberg™ recently achieved the OK biodegradable MARINE certification, which guarantees the biodegradability of its products even in the marine environment, as certified by TÜV AUSTRIA. This Bemberg™ certification’s achievement comes on top of other key ones such as the INNOVHUB report that confirms Bemberg™ biodegradability in soil, the RCS by Textile Exchange, and the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and ISO 14001 corporate certifications.
The innovations are on display at Performance Days Munich, 15-16 March 2023 – Stand L02 |
