Shenghong Holding Group, a global polyester manufacturer, strengthens its relationship with Ambercycle through a strategic partnership to scale cycora® regenerated yarns.

Since 2024, Ambercycle and Shenghong have collaborated to develop high-quality regenerated filament yarns using cycora® material. “As the industry adopts textile-to-textile solutions, cycora® is leading the way in delivering materials that meet the demands of global brands,” said Jason Tang, General Manager of Shenghong Chemical Fiber New Material Co.,Ltd. “This partnership is pivotal in driving scalable, impactful change across the apparel sector.”

Today, less than 1% of end-of-life textiles are recycled in closed-loop systems. By replacing virgin inputs with textile-to-textile regenerated materials, cycora® enables brands to integrate sustainability into their supply chains seamlessly. This partnership accelerates the industry’s transition to a circular future, where waste is reimagined as a valuable resource.

Shay Sethi, co-founder and CEO at Ambercycle, said, “Our partnership with Shenghong underscores our shared vision for a circular future. By leveraging Shenghong’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, we can ensure cycora® is seamlessly integrated into the supply chains of leading global brands. Together, we’re not just scaling production; we’re driving the adoption of circular materials across the apparel industry at the pace necessary to meet the growing demand.”

With Shenghong’s world-class yarn manufacturing capabilities and Ambercycle’s expertise in circular materials, this alliance is uniquely positioned to scale the production of textile-to-textile filament yarns for global adoption. Shenghong, one of the largest and most advanced recycled producer of polyester from bottles, is now advancing circularity in the apparel industry by introducing a textile-to-textile solution through cycora® material.
