Creative Tech Textile Launches Innovative Seawool® Blend

Creative Tech Textile, a leader in sustainable fibers, has announced the launch of a new fiber blend tailored specifically for the American market. This innovative blend combines 40% of their flagship eco-fiber Seawool®, a product made from recycled oyster shells and ocean plastic, with 60% cotton. The objective is to strike a balance between cost-effectiveness and sustainability, which is increasingly important for consumers today.

Eddie Wang, founder and CEO of Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global, refers to Seawool® as their "emerald of the ocean." This unique material, derived from recycled oyster shells, is designed for everyday comfort while addressing environmental concerns. The introduction of the cotton-Seawool® 60/40 blend demonstrates how circular textile innovations can expand globally, generating new opportunities for both American customers and consumers worldwide.

Meeting the Demand for Sustainable Fabrics

As the demand for economical and eco-friendly fabrics rises in the U.S., Creative Tech Textile’s new cotton-Seawool® blend offers the familiar softness of cotton while incorporating the odor resistance and performance benefits inherent in Seawool®. Major U.S. retail brands have already integrated Seawool® into their apparel lines, showcasing the significant value this combination can deliver to manufacturers of outdoor, sports, and lifestyle clothing seeking innovative and sustainable materials.

Key Performance Benefits of Seawool®

Seawool® is not just a trendy choice; it boasts several compelling characteristics:

• - Odor Resistance: Outperforms conventional cotton garments in odor control, making it perfect for activewear.

• - Thermal Regulation: Utilizes oyster shell powder, which has low thermal conductivity, ensuring stable temperature maintenance.

• - Sustainable Mass Production: Currently, the company produces 2,500 tonnes of Seawool® annually, repurposing approximately 500 tonnes of oyster shells each year.

• - Cost Efficiency: Significantly cheaper than high-quality down or fine wool, making it a financially accessible option for brands.

By incorporating Seawool® into cotton blends, Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global aims to make unique and innovative styles accessible for lifestyle and outdoor apparel, expanding beyond the niche of high-performance gear.

Shaping a Sustainable Fashion Industry

In alignment with the global sustainability goals highlighted during COP30 this month, the company emphasizes the capability of the fashion and textile sectors to lower their environmental footprint while continually increasing value. Addressing the needs of eco-conscious consumers, the cotton-Seawool® blend stands as a prime example of the industry leveraging innovation for progress.

With this new Seawool® blend launch, Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global reaffirms its commitment to promoting sustainable innovation within the textile industry, supporting global brands in developing next-generation fabrics that marry performance, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
