The Ambercycle and Highsun partnership will focus on expanding textile-to-textile (T2T) closed-loop recycling systems and drive innovation across the entire industry value chain, fostering the transformation and upgrading of the global textile value chain.
In addition, Ambercycle and HSCC will work together on multiple fronts, including recycling fibre market development, sourcing end-of-life textile feedstock, joint engineering efforts and new material production to expedite the transition towards a circular economy.

HSCC vice president Mei Zhen said: “At HSCC, we are committed to leading the future of sustainable materials by incorporating cutting-edge recycling technologies into our production processes.
“Through this partnership with Ambercycle, we are accelerating the adoption of recycled materials, helping to reduce dependency on virgin resources and drive meaningful change in the industry.”
The partnership’s objective is to transform synthetic material production by replacing virgin polyester and nylon with recycled materials from textile-to-textile processes. This shift is expected to cut down waste, lower carbon emissions, and foster a decarbonised supply chain.
The alliance will leverage HSCC’s resources within the global industry chain and Ambercycle’s expertise in recycled materials to set industry-wide standards for circularity that ensure regenerated synthetics are traceable, high-performance, and scalable.
