Made from 100 per cent recycled materials, the new range of industrial sewing threads from US textile manufacturer Champion Thread Company (CTC) offer ‘sustainable’ alternatives to polyester, and can be used across fashion, personal protective equipment and home textile industries. The collection includes three products: Renu Poly ChampCore; a recycled polyester-wrapped thread with a multifilament core; Renu ChampSpun; a recycled staple spun polyester thread; and Renu AeroTex Plus, a recycled textured polyester thread.

As per Matt Poovey, President, CTC, these products reduce energy consumption, waste and oil dependence. They are engineered to CTC’s extreme quality standards and are finished with proprietary lubricants to ensure high productivity.

Looking ahead, the Renu range can support brand and retail partners meet their sustainability goals and commitments. They can also maintain the productivity, seam performance, colour fastness, and chemical resistance characteristics they enjoy in traditional polyester treads, adds Poovey.
