The fiber innovation Celliant with Repreve – introduced by Hologenix, creators of Celliant, with global textile solutions provider Unifi, makers of Repreve, has been awarded a Top 5 Selection in the Accelerated Eco category of the Spring/Summer ISPO Textrends 2025 Awards. This is the highest honor Hologenix has ever received in these awards and the company’s first time in the Accelerated Eco category, where products are recognized for setting a new standard in terms of sustainability.
Twice a year, the leading trade fair for the sports industry, ISPO, recognizes innovative fibers, fabrics and components that are used to manufacture sports apparel. This innovation, whereby Celliant infrared (IR) technology is embedded into Repreve recycled fiber, is a performance fiber to provide wellness benefits to the consumer.
Celliant from Hologenix, LLC, Pacific Palisades, CA/USA, is a natural blend of IR-generating bioceramic minerals, which, when embedded into textiles, allows them to convert body heat into infrared energy, returning it to the body and temporarily increasing local circulation and cellular oxygenation. This aids in muscle recovery, increases endurance, and improves overall performance in healthy individuals, among other benefits.
Repreve recycled performance fiber from Unifi, Inc., Greensboro, NC/USA, consists of high-quality fibers made from 100% recycled materials, including post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer waste. It is also certified and traceable with Unifi’s U Trust verification and FiberPrint technology, which provide assurance that the product comes from recycled materials. Compared to virgin fiber, Repreve helps to offset the use of petroleum, conserving water and energy and emitting fewer greenhouse gasses.
This award marks the third year in a row that Hologenix has had its Celliant technology recognized in the ISPO Textrends Awards. Celliant in pure white was a Top Ten Winner in 2022. The prior year, Celliant Viscose was a Selection Winner as well.
