The international eco tech yarn innovator and manufacturer Roica by Asahi Kasei presented its latest innovation, the premium and smart stretch yarn Roica V550, at Kingpins Show in Amsterdam/Netherlands from April 12-13, 2023, one of the key jeans supply chain events at international level.
The sustainable degradable yarn by Asahi Kasei Corp., Tokyo/Japan, Roica V550 is a Cradle to Cradle Certified stretch yarn with a Material Health Gold Level Certificate. It degrades under ISO 14855 1 tested by OWS decomposing to CO2 and water.
Artistic Milliners, Karachi/Pakistan, has expanded from a denim mill into a global service ecosystem focused on leading, fashion into a better, more sustainable future, while striving for excellence in every facet of its vertical operation. Their footprint now includes Star Fades International (SFI), a fully operational denim laundry and design center located in Los Angeles, CA/USA, as well as its expansion into Mexico. It was the first manufacturer to develop cradle-to-cradle Gold Certified Denim Fabric in partnership with G-Star Raw using Roica V550 premium and degradable stretch. Its Earthcore platform focuses on using biodegradable/compostable materials, with stretch being represented by the degradable Roica V550 premium stretch ingredient, which aligns with the principles of total circularity, generating zero waste.
Earthcore fabrics are Ellen MacArthur Jeans Redesign-compliant and feature the company’s proprietary Crystal Clear 2.0 dyeing tech, which enables salt-free sulfur overdyeing.
Thanks to its blend of GOTS certified organic cotton/regenagri certified regenerative cotton with Roica V550, ReSolve from Candiani Denim SpA, Robecchetto con Induno/Italy, represents a real innovation and a step further on the sustainable properties of fibers. ReSolve is a next step to a greener denim production by combining innovative fiber blends and advanced dyeing and finishing technologies.
Prosperity Textile, Shaoguan/China is a denim operation with 2 production sites and 1,900 employees worldwide, with a second state-of-the-art denim mill opened in Vietnam in 2018. The Leave No Trace collection features a range of 11 styles using Roica’s V550 premium degradable stretch fiber, next to bio-based polylactides and Ciclo infused recycled degradable polyesters. The company offers the choice of extra comfort and performance, and also goes toward leaving “no trace behind” on its journey to a better denim industry.
