Ambercycle and Shenghong Holding Group have announced a strategic partnership to scale the production of regenerated filament yarns made with cycora® material, bringing circular solutions to the Chinese value chain. This collaboration addresses the rising global demand for sustainable materials in the apparel industry.

Since 2024, both companies 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.

Currently, less than 1% of end-of-life textiles are recycled in closed-loop systems. Cycora material replaces virgin inputs with textile-to-textile regenerated materials, helping brands seamlessly integrate sustainability into their supply chains. This partnership accelerates the apparel sector’s transition to a circular future where waste is transformed into valuable resources.

Shay Sethi, co-founder and CEO of Ambercycle, emphasized the shared vision for circularity: “Our partnership with Shenghong underscores our commitment to driving impactful change. By leveraging Shenghong’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, we can ensure cycora is seamlessly integrated into global supply chains, meeting the growing demand for circular materials.”

The partnership was commemorated in a signing ceremony attended by key leaders from both organizations, including Gerry Xue, Shay Sethi, Jason Tang, and Alex Miao.

With Shenghong’s expertise as a leading recycled polyester producer and Ambercycle’s focus on circular materials, the alliance is well-positioned to expand the production of textile-to-textile filament yarns for global apparel brands. This move reinforces the industry’s shift toward sustainable practices and closed-loop recycling systems.
