Creative Tech Textile Introduces Revolutionary Seawool® Blend for the U.S. Market

On November 18, 2025, Creative Tech Textile, also known as Hans Global, announced a significant innovation with the launch of a new fiber blend specifically designed for the U.S. market. This innovative mix comprises 40% Seawool®, an eco-friendly fiber crafted from recycled oyster shells and ocean plastics, combined with 60% cotton. This blend aims to provide an optimal balance of cost efficiency and sustainability, appealing to the growing demand for environmentally friendly fabrics in the fashion industry.

Eddie Wang, the founder and CEO of Creative Tech Textile, enthusiastically described Seawool® as the company's “Emerald from the Sea,” emphasizing its origin from recycled materials for everyday comfort. With this new 60/40 cotton-Seawool® blend, the company aspires to demonstrate that circular textile innovations can be globally scaled to meet the needs of their U.S. customers while creating fresh opportunities for modern consumers.

Why Choose Seawool®?

As consumers increasingly seek affordable and eco-conscious fabric options, the newly formulated cotton-Seawool® blend from Creative Tech Textile perfectly combines the familiar comfort of cotton with the performance advantages of Seawool®, including odor resistance. Major U.S. retail brands have awed the market by incorporating Seawool® into their apparel lines, signaling the material's importance for manufacturers focusing on outdoor, sports, and lifestyle clothing.

Transforming Waste into Innovation

Seawool® is produced through collecting discarded oyster shells and recycling plastic bottles into a high-performance textile fiber that is both functional and environmentally friendly. This pioneering material boasts several advantages:

• - Odor Resistance: Significantly reduced odor retention compared to traditional cotton clothing.
• - Thermal Regulation: The use of oyster shell powder allows for enhanced thermal stability through its low thermal conductivity.
• - Sustainable Large-Scale Production: The company currently produces 2,500 tons of Seawool® annually, requiring around 500 tons of oyster shells, showcasing its viability as a large-scale solution for eco-conscious manufacturing.
• - Cost-Effectiveness: It is priced at just a tenth of down and a twentieth of high-quality wool, maintaining affordability without sacrificing quality.

By integrating Seawool® into their cotton-blend, Creative Tech Textile positions itself to explore avenues for mainstream lifestyle and outerwear markets, stepping beyond premium high-performance apparel.

A Committed Path Toward a Sustainable Fashion Industry

With this launch coinciding with COP30’s global sustainability agenda, Creative Tech Textile reiterates how the fashion and textile industry can reduce environmental impact while increasing value—catering to consumers who prioritize sustainable options. The cotton-Seawool® blend and the enduring principles of the circular economy are prime examples of how the industry can embrace innovation for progressive outcomes.
