Taekwang Industry, a leading vertically integrated textile under the Taekwang Group, has launched ACECOOL-BIO, South Korea’s first domestically produced plant-based nylon yarn.
ACECOOL-BIO represents a significant breakthrough in the development of next-generation synthetic fibres. Derived from renewable plant-based sources, the yarn is engineered to surpass the functional boundaries of conventional chemical fibres, offering enhanced moisture absorption, superior breathability, and vibrant dyeability.
According to Taekwang Industry, ACECOOL-BIO not only caters to the increasing consumer demand for cool-touch textiles, particularly in sportswear, innerwear, and summer workwear, but also delivers impressive environmental benefits. The company revealed that the carbon emissions generated during the production of ACECOOL-BIO are reduced by more than 50% compared to traditional cool-touch nylon fibres. This places the innovation squarely in line with the global push for low-impact manufacturing solutions.
The yarn is also optimized for the dyeing process. With shortened dyeing times and richer, more vibrant coloration, ACECOOL-BIO aims to streamline textile processing while enhancing the quality of finished garments.
ACECOOL-BIO is not just to introduce a new material, but to transform the expectations of what sustainable textiles can achieve. This launch reflects o to expanding ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management in the fashion industry.
Looking ahead, Taekwang Industry plans to further diversify its sustainable fibre portfolio with additional brand launches in the second half of the year. These efforts align with the company’s broader vision to lead the market in high-performance, low-impact textile solutions.
As fashion and manufacturing industries around the world pivot toward environmental responsibility, innovations like ACECOOL-BIO offer a compelling model for how legacy industrial players can blend tradition with transformation building a future where performance and planet go hand in hand.
