Ambercycle and Shenghong Partner to Scale Circular Filament Yarns
Ambercycle, a leader in circular materials, has joined forces with Shenghong Holding Group to scale the production of regenerated filament yarns made with cycora® material. This strategic partnership integrates cycora® into the Chinese value chain, addressing the global demand for truly circular solutions in the apparel industry.
Since 2024, the two companies have collaborated to develop high-quality filament yarns using cycora®. “As the industry adopts textile-to-textile solutions, cycora® is leading the way in delivering materials that meet the demands of global brands,” said Jason Tang, General Manager of Shenghong Chemical Fiber New Material Co., Ltd. “This partnership is pivotal in driving scalable, impactful change across the apparel sector.”
Currently, less than 1% of end-of-life textiles are recycled in closed-loop systems. By replacing virgin inputs with cycora® regenerated materials, brands can seamlessly integrate sustainability into their supply chains. This partnership accelerates the transition to a circular future, transforming waste into valuable resources.
Shay Sethi, co-founder and CEO of Ambercycle, remarked, “Our partnership with Shenghong underscores our shared vision for a circular future. Leveraging Shenghong’s advanced manufacturing capabilities ensures cycora® is seamlessly integrated into the supply chains of leading global brands. Together, we’re scaling production and driving the adoption of circular materials across the apparel industry at the pace necessary to meet growing demand.”
With Shenghong’s world-class yarn manufacturing expertise and Ambercycle’s leadership in circular materials, this alliance is poised to revolutionize textile-to-textile filament yarn production for global adoption. Shenghong, already a major producer of recycled polyester from bottles, is advancing circularity in the apparel industry by introducing cycora® material as a scalable textile-to-textile solution.
