Hyosung is accelerating entry to the global eco-friendly fibre market by supplying an eco-friendly material to Osprey, the world’s leading outdoor backpack brand. Hyosung is a comprehensive fibre manufacturer, headquartered in South Korea, which produces the majority of leading world-class products that are used throughout the fibre industry.

MIPAN regen robic developed by Hyosung is the world’s first eco-friendly high-strength nylon yarn brand. This eco-friendly material is created by recycling by-products generated from the fibre production stage. Lightweight with excellent tearing strength (resistance against tearing) and wear resistance, MIPAN regen robic is suitable for outdoor products, such as backpacks, working clothes, and swimsuits. When 1kg of reclaimed nylon yarn is produced, an effect to reduce greenhouse gas emission in an amount equivalent to 6 – 7kg of CO2 is created. Therefore, this product is known as an eco-friendly yarn.

In the first quarter of this year, Hyosung TNC started supplying MIPAN regen robic, a high-strength reclaimed nylon yarn, to Osprey. Osprey will release ‘Talon/Tempest Series,’ a flagship backpack line created with MIPAN regen robic, for the spring season next year, according to a press release by Hyosung.
