The development of carbon safe material C6 as a water repellent is being led by Taiwan.

Bluesign® designation means more than just being environmentally friendly. It is a commitment to the world that encompasses an ongoing process and promises to manufacture and develop the most sustainable directional products and practices possible.

The proximity and close ties of the Taiwan technical products industry helps lead the way. Taking the benefit of new technology integration, textiles are more innovative than ever. New products such as smart metallic yarns, thermo- sensitive material and more, the possibilities are endless. Fashion in apparel and yoga inspired sportswear is evident as this market is expanding. New yarn developments allowing multiple looks and textures are driving innovation. Soft, crisp, vibrant or mellow, inspired market looks and touches are there. Mixtures of new technologies and fashion allow new design elements that were hard to imagine in the past. Polymer based yarn developments in polyester, nylon, recycled and blended with natural fibers lead the way. You can have the look and feel of natural fiber fabrics with the performance and flexibility of synthetics. Comfortable, breathable, wind and water resistant textiles mixed and matched in breathtaking design elements. Adding in odor control and a myriad of product enhancements allow new and innovative design directions and bring the consumer endless options.
