Thai Acrylic Fibre's Regel fibre gets bluesign APPROVED certification
16 Aug 22 2 min read
Regel is TAF’s second product to get bluesign APPROVED after its flagship gel-dyed acrylic fibre – Radianza. Regel was launched earlier this year by TAF that was developed as a result of growing demand of sustainable fashion products from global consumers, brands and retailers.
Waste accumulation and its management is one of the key sustainability challenges of the industry and therefore recycling pre-consumer, post-consumer and in-process waste to make new products is one of the most preferred and prevalent ways to reduce the environment impact. Regel is a unique innovation as it is one of the first successful commercialisation of acrylic fibre produced by recycling the waste. It is manufactured with an authentic and intimate chemical recycling process which is functionally equivalent to acrylic fibre like warmth, comfort and vibrant shades.
bluesign APPROVED articles go through a rigorous certification process by Bluesign Technologies ag—the organisation behind the certification—and it certifies that these articles are manufactured with a minimum impact on people and the environment.
