Syre Announces Gap Inc., Houdini, And Target As Strategic Launch Partners To Accelerate The Great Textile Shift

STOCKHOLM — June 24, 2025 — Syre, the textile impact company hyperscaling textile-to-textile recycling, today announces a strategic partnership with Gap Inc., Houdini Sportswear, and Target as part of its commercial launch. The Launch Partners will play a critical role in bringing circular polyester to the broader market, accelerating adoption, and shaping the future of the textile industry.

Syre launched in March 2024 with a mission to decarbonize and dewaste the textile industry, establishing textile-to-textile plants producing circular polyester across the globe, reducing CO2e emissions by up to 85 percent compared to the production of oil-based virgin polyester, in a circular approach.

The company already announced its first ‘blueprint’ plant being established in North Carolina, US, to be operational already in 2026 and delivering volumes up to 10,000 metric tons of circular polyester annually. Today, Syre announces the selected group of strategic Launch Partners to drive commercialization and accelerate adoption:

GAP INC.: Gap Inc., the largest specialty apparel retailer in America, has partnered with Syre with an ambition to utilize 10,000 metric tons per year of Syre’s recycled polyester chip. The collaboration marks a significant step in Gap Inc.’s commitment to integrate more sustainable materials across its portfolio of brands, including Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta.

HOUDINI SPORTSWEAR: Sweden-based Houdini, technical outdoor brand and trailblazer in circular innovation, has partnered up with Syre with the ambition to have a fully circular and waste free ecosystem in place by 2030 and for textile-to-textile recycled fibers to re-emerge as the company’s primary source of polyester. Houdini has committed to sourcing 50% of their polyester usage from Syre circular polyester for a period of three years.

TARGET: Target, a Minneapolis-based retailer that serves guests at nearly 2,000 stores and at Target.com, plans for 100 percent of its owned brand products to be designed for a circular future by 2040. As part of this commitment, Target is partnering with Syre to incorporate textile-to-textile recycled polyester into a selection of the company’s owned brand products.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnerships with these esteemed and forward-thinking brands, representing different segments and sizes,” said Dennis Nobelius, CEO Syre. “They are truly front runners, understanding the need to secure capacity of a scarce resource to be. As we embark on the next phase of scaling at speed, we’re confident that these collaborations will not only bolster commercial success but also help redefine the industry and drive the urgent shift towards true circularity.”

Recent market research conducted by Syre and McKinsey1 showcases a 10-12 million tons expected annual supply-demand gap for textile-to-textile recycled polyester by 2030. Brands across textile-heavy industries have committed to bold circularity targets and regulations will accelerate demand for circular materials, also phasing out the established solution for recycled polyester (bottle-to-fiber) which is not circular.

“We’re proud to be among the first to support Syre’s innovative textile solutions. This partnership enables us to accelerate our progress toward realizing a more circular fashion industry,” said Dan Fibiger, vice resident of Global Sustainability at Gap Inc. “Our ambition to utilize 10,000 metric tons per year of Syre’s recycled polyester chip is not only an innovation that we feel will resonate with our customer, but it is an important lever for Gap Inc. in our efforts to bridge the climate gap.”

“With nature as our blueprint we envision a pure, waste free and circular flow of natural resources, products and a business model that are circular by design and companies like ourselves that act as custodians and caretakers of those resources. In partnership with Syre’s ambition, we are closing in on that vision”, says Eva Karlsson, co-founder and chief creative officer at Houdini.

Announcing the Launch Partners marks a pivotal milestone on Syre’s journey, underscoring its commitment to deliver a circular solution at scale. The company has worked closely with each of the partners to be able to ensure seamless integration, delivering on their ambitious circularity and decarbonization targets. Through these collaborations Syre aims to unlock the marketplace and see many more partners follow, across textile and polyester heavy industries, to drive the great textile shift.

Teijin Frontier Develops A Next-Generation Stretch Fabric With An Extremely Fine, Multiple Crimp Structure Providing Soft And Airy Comfort

TOKYO — June 12, 2025 — Teijin Frontier Co. Ltd., announced today that it has developed a next-generation stretch fabric made of an extra-fine three-dimensional structure with randomly sized crimps. The newly developed fabric combines exceptional elasticity with a soft, airy texture and a natural uneven surface that helps make the fabric lightweight while providing quick drying and moisture wicking performance.

The surface of the newly developed fabric.

Teijin Frontier plans to launch this next-generation stretch fabric for the domestic and international outdoor and sportswear markets during the Fall/Winter 2026 season. The company also aims to expand its applications to include lifestyle apparel such as innerwear and fashion garments, targeting sales of 100,000 meters in fiscal 2026 and 1 million meters by fiscal 2029.

Traditionally, stretch fabrics used in sportswear, fashion and innerwear have relied on polyurethane, however this material presents challenges in terms of strength, durability, weight and colorfastness. Previously, Teijin Frontier addressed these issues by developing various stretch materials using SOLOTEXⓇ fiber, which is made from polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) instead.

A sheath-core composite yarn with randomly sized crimps

In recent years, though, consumer demand has evolved beyond stretchability alone. Today there is growing interest in fabrics that offer novel textures and appearances, along with gentle-touch comfort. Existing SOLOTEX-based materials provide numerous benefits, but were not fully meeting these new expectations from consumers.

In response, Teijin Frontier leveraged its advanced PTT spinning and drawing technologies to develop an extra-fine side-by-side conjugate yarn that is produced by bonding two different PTT polymers in parallel. It features an extremely fine denier and strong, large crimp structure for excellent stretch performance. Using proprietary yarn processing techniques, this core yarn is combined with high-multifilament polyester fibers to create a sheath-core composite yarn with randomly sized crimps. When woven into a high-density textile, the result is a fabric with a natural, finely textured surface that delivers a light, airy texture and a soft feel—culminating in the creation of Teijin Frontier’s next-generation stretch fabric.

This next-generation stretch fabric offers the following key features:

  • Innovative Texture and Appearance: The contrast in crimp structures between the core and sheath yarns creates a natural, uneven surface with moderate firmness and drape.
  • Superior Comfort: The combination of multiple crimp structures provides a soft, airy sensation that feels almost weightless. The fabric also offers excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, and its fine and uneven surface helps prevent stickiness during perspiration.
  • Environmental Consideration: The core yarn includes plant-derived raw materials, and the sheath yarn uses recycled polyester, making the next-generation stretch fabric an environmentally sustainable material.

Interstoff Group Opts For Advanced Svegea Colarette Systems

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — June 23, 2025 — Svegea — a member of TMAS, the Swedish textile machinery association — has delivered no less than six of its EC 200 automatic collarette machines to the Bangladesh-based Interstoff Group in the past 12 months.

Interstoff, which belongs to the Pandughar Group, was founded in 2000 as a modest garment factory with just 62 sewing machines.

Svegea EC 200 system in situ at Interstoff Apparels.

Today its three divisions — Interstoff Apparels, Interstoff Clothing and South East Textile — have a combined workforce of over 10,000 people, producing around 72 million fully finished and packaged garments each year.

Recognition

Interstoff is further equipped with the very latest knitting and dyeing and finishing machinery sourced from Europe and Japan to enable a daily production capacity of 30,000 kg of fabrics. Through continuous innovation in yarns and processes, the company’s fabrics consistently earn recognition for their environmental responsibility and quality. Its fabric laboratory is certified by leading brands such as H&M, M&S, Sainsbury’s and Tesco.

Two Svegea collarette machines have now been commissioned at each of the three Interstoff divisions for the high speed production of tubular apparel components such as cuffs, collars and neck tapes.

Interstoff chose the EC 200 machines over the faster EC 300 model primarily because some of its fabrics include seams. The faster crush-cutting knife system in Svegea’s EC 300 series can struggle with multiple fabric layers or seams stitched with polyester thread, since it cuts by pressure rather than slicing. By contrast, the EC 200 uses scissor-action knives — two sharp circular blades with a slight overlap — which function like scissors and handle seams without issue.

The machines run directly from turntables at speeds of up to 40 meters per minute, depending on the fabric width, material properties and optimal settings. They are equipped with Svegea’s standard drive system in an electronic master/slave configuration. Each machine has been specially equipped with a third knife set, enabling the simultaneous cutting of up to three bands. This means that total output in linear meters per minute can be significantly higher when cutting multiple bands in parallel.

Efficiency and fabric savings

“Advances in automation continue to make the specialized, bespoke machines we engineer more efficient,” says Svegea Managing Director Håkan Steene. “We have enjoyed great success in Bangladesh over the past few years, working with our invaluable regional partner Tech Cell, and have established strong relationships with the leading integrated garment manufacturing operations in the country.”

“We have had a strong relationship with Svegea over the years and these machines are now helping us to significantly increase production as well as achieving fabric savings and being able to divert manpower to other areas of production,” adds Interstoff Apparels director Shaikh Mohammad Ilias.

“Many of the world’s leading fashion brands have chosen to establish operations in Bangladesh, drawn to the country’s efficiencies and highly integrated network of rapidly responding suppliers,” says TMAS Secretary General Therese Premler-Andersson. “Hoping to build on this success, the Bangladesh government has now initiated plans to achieve exports of ready-made garment worth $50 billion by as early as this year – and approaching $100 billion by 2030. Members of TMAS have been very active in the region recently, providing the latest tools for automating textile and garment manufacturing processes – driving both sustainability and competitiveness. TMAS members look forward to meeting up with new and existing customers at the forthcoming ITMA Asia exhibition in Singapore this October.”

Svegea will be demonstrating both semi- and fully-automatic cutting machines at ITMA Asia + CITME from October 28-31, at stand D109 in Hall 6.
