Hyosung is expanding its Ocean Protection Initiative by offering premium regen ocean yarns made from discarded fishing nets.
These GRS-certified post-consumer yarns are part of Hyosung's commitment to sustainable textile solutions.
The company has collaborated with Osprey to create backpacks using the regen ocean robic high-tenacity nylon.

In its ongoing commitment to provide sustainable textile solutions that meet the diverse and complex sustainability strategies active lifestyle brands have, Hyosung has expanded its Ocean Protection Initiative with a broader assortment of premium regen ocean yarns made from discarded fishing nets, which is on display at the ongoing Outdoor Retailer Summer Market.

Hyosung began its ocean protection journey in 2007 as the first company to collect and recycle discarded fishing nets that pollute our seas and harm marine life. As more brands began seeking ocean-based recycled materials that align with their unique ocean protection programmes, Hyosung invested in its proprietary recycling process and the increased production of its regen ocean nylon programme to produce high-quality GRS-certified post-consumer yarns made from discarded fishing nets.
