Hyosung TNC Participates in Korea's Largest Textile Exhibition

Introducing Collaborative Products Featuring Eco-Friendly Material 'Regen'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hyosung TNC announced on the 31st that it will participate in the 2021 Preview in Seoul (PIS), held at COEX in Seoul from September 1 to 3.

Hyosung TNC will create an exhibition space through collaboration with the recycled polyester fiber 'regen®' and fashion brand products to expand its connection with the MZ generation, who value eco-friendly consumption and unique experiences.

With the brand 'The North Face,' loved by all age groups, they will showcase the regen®jeju fleece jacket made using recycled PET bottles collected from the Jeju area. Collaborations with brands popular among the MZ generation such as 'National Geographic,' 'Covernat,' and 'Pleats Mama' feature products like T-shirts and bags made from regen®seoul.

A banner made entirely from regen® by 'Qcleaf' will also be displayed on the outer wall of the exhibition space. Qcleaf is an upcycling startup that creates accessories and miscellaneous goods using eco-friendly fabrics such as discarded banners.

Hyosung TNC employees will welcome visitors wearing 'Hanbok for the Earth' uniforms, created in collaboration with the modern hanbok brand 'LISLE.' The hanbok uses regen fiber made from about 90 PET bottles, earning praise for combining eco-friendly values with the beauty of Korea.

This PIS will be held both online and offline. Through an online 3D exhibition, Hyosung TNC allows customers to see fabrics and clothes made from its fibers firsthand.

Kim Yong-seop, CEO of Hyosung TNC, stated, "Beyond supplying materials, we will continue to strive to expand the base of the eco-friendly business market and build a win-win ecosystem between large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises."

Meanwhile, marking its 22nd edition this year, Korea's largest textile and fashion exhibition PIS will place standing banners by Qcleaf made from regen throughout the venue to assist visitors. As the exhibition focuses on sustainability, eco-friendly materials will be actively used for items within the exhibition hall at the request of the host, the Korea Federation of Textile Industries.
