FENC has made outstanding achievements in green products from sea, air, and land

Affected by the epidemic, the annual event of the textile industry, TITAS exhibition, was changed from physical exhibition to online exhibition from November 1 to 30 this year. Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC), with the most popular exhibition every year, also held the 2021 product launch presentation on November 3. This year, with the "land, sea and air attack" as the main theme, shows how FENC uses new technology to make recycled polyester from second-hand old clothes, marine waste plastics, industrial waste gas and other wastes. The R & D results are not only favored by international well-known sports brands, but also become the designated supplier of Jersey materials for the Olympic Games, and is responsible for supplying 17 National Olympic teams. In the future, FENC will continue to build a green supply chain and do its best for the environment.

        

FENC especially launched FENC ® TOPGREEN ® rTex Filament this year, It reproduces fabrics and second-hand clothes with much higher material complexity than bottle into new polyester fiber through the processes of classification, crushing, melting, granulation and spinning, so as to solve the huge problem of second-hand clothes recycling.

In terms of ocean recycling, the "ocean recycling yarn project" exclusively cooperated by FENC, adidas and Parley for the ocean, an NGO organization, uses patented technology to convert thousands of tons of waste plastics in the ocean into brand-new products. It is not only used in sports shoes and jerseys, but also used in daily necessities such as credit cards, shopping bags and thermos bottle covers. FENC further develops unique weaving technology to make the fabric lighter, better moisture absorption and perspiration effect, and higher tear strength of the fabric, so as to win the favor of international sport events. In the 2022 World Cup, 7 countries will wear battle gowns made of ocean recycling yarn to compete on the court.

The success of the "ocean recycling yarn project" has inspired FENC to extend its waste reduction goal to the sky. In July this year, it successfully produced the world's first clothes made from waste gas from steel mills in cooperation with Lanzatech, an American biotechnology company, MEG manufacturers in India and international well-known yoga clothing brands. Using unique biotechnology, the captured carbon exhaust is first converted into ethanol and finally made into FENC® TOPGREEN ® Bio 3 PET low-carbon polyester transforms the greenhouse gases emitted by industry into brand-new textile commodities such as clothing and sports shoes, which is an excellent model for truly implementing carbon reduction.

FENC's green materials are not only used in clothing, but also applied to more difficult industrial fiber materials. Among them, recycled polyester is the first to be adopted by German Continental Tires. Moreover, FENC is also the world's largest supplier of medical grade PE / PP and PE / PET composite fibers. In the past two years, under the threat of COVID-19, medical masks have become a necessary item for going out. However, according to statistics, 540,000 tons of petrochemical wastes are produced every month all over the world. FENC is committed to the research and development of green medical materials by taking the lead in green polyester materials. In the third quarter of this year, it successfully developed non-woven fiber raw materials for bio and bio-degradable masks. Regardless of hydrophilicity, skin affinity and softness, they are close to the current petrochemical fiber quality, and the use of the bio materials can reduce carbon by more than 50%, which can be naturally decomposed later, which is very friendly to the environment.

In addition to demonstrating the innovative technologies of FENC, Far Eastern Fibertech, a subsidiary of FENC, also published FEFC ® Eco environmental dyeing nylon 6,6 fiber cloth and clothing. FEFC ® Nylon 6,6 products have always been famous for innovation, texture and leading development. In the development stage, the concept of friendly environment, reducing pollution and reducing the use of earth resources is introduced, and it can color fabrics without dyeing process, which greatly reduces the consumption of chemical dyes, additives and water resources, and eliminates the treatment of dyeing wastewater, and has the effect of energy conservation and carbon reduction. It is an innovative product with high sustainability and environmental protection concept.
