Shinkong Invests $10M in Ambercycle's New Facility to Commercialize Circular Polyester Innovation
Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation, a global leader in polyester production, has invested $10 million in Ambercycle’s first state-of-the-art commercial facility. Shinkong’s contribution to the leading material science company’s facility will help expand global production capacity for its premium material made from end-of-life textiles. It builds on three years of collaboration that harnessed Ambercycle’s molecular regeneration technology and Shinkong’s extensive experience in the premium polyester market to jointly manufacture regenerated yarns and meet the growing demand for cycora® material.
New digital care label offers supply chain traceability
Materials science and manufacturing company Avery Dennison has partnered with textile waste recycling specialist Ambercycle to launch an intelligent digital care label solution. The care labels, which will be attached to Ambercycle’s garments, feature a QR code that links to an app offering product details such as how the garment was produced, how it should be looked after and its material composition.
Powered by Avery Dennison’s data platform, the app works with the label to provide traceability and transparency across the supply chain by providing important information to recyclers and resellers in addition to consumers.
