The LYCRA Company, a global leader in developing innovative and sustainable fiber and technology solutions for the personal care and apparel industries, has debuted its newest fiber innovations for hygiene and personal care products at INDEX 23, the world’s leading nonwovens exhibition in Switzerland.
The LYCRA Company launched LYCRA EnviroFit™ fiber, one of the many fibers that the company has developed as part of its Planet Agenda sustainability platform. With its unique chemistry, LYCRA EnviroFit™ fiber utilizes thinner yarns, reducing the amount of fiber per article and helping conserve resources without compromising product performance.
“We are thrilled to introduce LYCRA EnviroFit™ fiber, which reduces fiber weight while maintaining the overall quality and performance that personal care products require,” said Scott Blackadar, president, personal care at The LYCRA Company. “Having less mass means fewer resources and less energy are consumed during diaper production. This fiber will appeal to manufacturers who want to significantly reduce their product’s environmental impact and help improve its carbon footprint.”
