Ghezzi, the Italian yarn manufacturer for twisted, stretch and fancy yarns made with synthetic, artificial and natural fibers has launched a range of new generation premium stretch yarns at the recent Filo Yarn and Fibre Exhibition in Milan. These new yarns with ROICA Eco Smart by Asahi Kasei are said to deliver high performance stretch together with sustainability benefits.
According to Ghezzi, ROICA Eco-Smart is an eco-friendly, stretch yarn and is the only more sustainable, eco-stretch elastane that is GRS certified (Global Recycling Standard by Textile Exchange). The production of this yarn uses more than 50 per cent pre-production industrial waste material and is designed responsibly and ethically for customers looking to bring contemporary stretch to their own more sustainable product lines.
The smart and innovative material is designed to help clothing manufacturers deliver a more responsible high performance without compromise, while appealing to the modern consumer’s desire for better value.
Ghezzi has been a partner of ROICA, but also of CUPRO by Asahi Kasei for many years. CUPRO is a refined, matchless material with a soft silk like touch. Its soft versatility is said to make it perfect for the modern wardrobe’s fashions, intimates, special occasion and everyday casual wear.
