Hyosung TNC Pushes Bio-Spandex Platform Across Europe, U.S. Markets

Seoul – September 08, 2026 -- Hyosung TNC is scaling its sugarcane-based regen™ Bio Spandex platform across Europe and North America, positioning the fiber as an alternative to fossil-fuel-based textiles amid tightening EU climate rules.

Hyosung TNC showcased its Vietnam-based integrated bio-spandex system at three major global events

The company presented its fully integrated production ecosystem -- converting raw sugar certified under the VIVE Sustainable Supply Programme into Bio-BDO, Bio-PTMG and Bio-Spandex within a single Vietnam-based facility -- at the Global Fashion Summit 2026 in Copenhagen in May, the Future Fabrics Expo in Brussels in June, and the Functional Fabric Fair in New York in July.
