Coats extends range of ‘sustainable’ threads
18/05/2021
EcoRegen is the latest offering in a line of products that support the drive towards a circular economy. This started in 2018 with EcoVerde, a range of 100% recycled polyester threads, zips and trims.
There are a further two products which will be launched soon: EcoCycle is a range of water dissolvable thread that facilitates garment recycling and end to end circularity; and Eco-B is a recycled polyester thread incorporating an additive which reduces synthetic fibre accumulation in landfills and microfibre pollution in oceans, according to the company.
Adrian Elliott, president of apparel and footwear at Coats, said: “Sustainable business practices are vitally important for responsible businesses and we continuously strive to support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals.
“With the launch of our new sustainable threads, we are developing products that allow our customers to design garments with a clear end-of-life strategy built into them.”
Coats has a workforce of 17,000 people across six continents. Revenues in 2020 were $1.2bn.
