Bangkok–based Indorama Ventures is advancing circularity in home and contract textiles with new Trevira® flame-retardant fibers and filament yarns made from 50% recycled textile material. The innovation debuted at the Heimtextil trade show in Frankfurt, Germany, in mid-January.
“This innovation is possible through Indorama Ventures’ joint venture with Jiaren Chemical Recycling,” said Jesper Nielsen, global key account manager, flame retardancy. “Jiaren transforms post-consumer and industrial textile waste into recycled polyester chips, from which we produce our modified Trevira® flame-retardant fibers and yarns.”
Fabrics made with these materials can qualify for the Trevira CS Eco brand, combining circular design with the proven, permanent flame-retardant performance of Trevira CS. The partnership with Jiaren, announced in November 2025, supports Indorama Ventures’ long-term goal of achieving large-scale textile circularity without compromising safety or comfort.
