Dust-proof suits made with Hyosung TNC's recycled fiber 'Regen' will be used at Samsung Electronics' U.S. semiconductor factory following its use at the domestic semiconductor plant.


On the 22nd, Hyosung TNC announced that dust-proof suits and caps made from Regen will be supplied to Samsung Electronics' Taylor semiconductor factory in Texas, USA. Regen is a PET bottle recycled fiber that has obtained the world's first Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certification.

When Hyosung TNC produces Regen fiber from collected PET bottles, KM, a company specializing in manufacturing industrial clothing, manufactures dust-proof suits and supplies them to Samsung Electronics. Hyosung TNC recycled about 300,000 waste PET bottles to produce dust-proof suits for the Taylor factory. This is said to have a carbon reduction effect equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 1,300 pine trees over one year.


Earlier in March, Hyosung TNC applied dust-proof suits made with Regen at Samsung Electronics' Hwaseong semiconductor factory.



Kim Chi-hyung, CEO of Hyosung TNC, stated, "Regen is establishing itself as a global eco-friendly representative brand beyond Korea," adding, "By expanding the application of Regen not only to fashion apparel but also to industrial clothing, we will actively take the lead in realizing eco-friendly management with global companies."
