First industrial-scale production of Twaron® using recycled material
Years of research and trials have resulted in a production run of Twaron® using recycled feedstock. The high-modulus filament yarn produced with recycled content has the same exceptional strength and durability as our original renowned Twaron® fibers. With the successful completion of trials on an industrial scale we’ve taken a step closer towards commercialization of circular Twaron®.
This is a milestone in our sustainability journey – a first for developing technology and a big step towards our goal of using an ever-increasing percentage of recycled content in the production of Twaron® yarn. We’ve been mechanically recycling end-of-life para-aramid products for decades. Now, our physical recycling technology will make circular aramids possible.
