Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel (Freudenberg) will showcase two new solutions in the sports and outdoor sector at the digital Performance Days.

As per Textile Network, Freudenberg will offer customers the Freudenberg Active Range of sustainable, highly elastic and breathable interlinings and tapes for all types of sportswear.

Most of the products in this range are made from at least 70 percent recycled polyester that Freudenberg produces in a closed loop system from used PET bottles. The company recycles around seven million of these plastic bottles per day, making it the largest user of post-consumer PET bottles in Europe.

In the Freudenberg Active Range, a special technology ensures that highly-elastic outer fabrics retain their flexibility and remain breathable despite being fixed. Thanks to their highly-developed adhesive polymers, selected products in the range are exceptionally suitable even for complicated outer fabrics that are difficult to process. The bonding compound is applied to a carrier material in the form of small dots without using a base material. Moreover, the Freudenberg Active Range also features sewable interlinings that allow a natural yet elastic feel while keeping the garment in the desired shape
