The Japanese textile manufacturer Ecosensor by Asahi Kasei Advance presents 40 new references that meet the needs of the contemporary consumer, such as durability, wellbeing and performance. The collection covers the different market applications with seven items for Innerwear, 2 for Outerwear, 17 for Sport Knit and 14 for Sport Woven.

All of Ecosensor fabrics are made with sustainable materials which are certified by internatinal certification such as GRS, RCS or self-certification by each yarn supplier, through a traceable and transparent production process and supply chain. 100% of the stretch articles (representing 35% of the collection) are made with Roica EF by Asahi Kasei, the recycled stretch yarn made from pre-consumer materials.

The main fibers are GRS certified recycled polyester and recycled polyamide, but the collection also features some blends, such as in Bemberg, the high-tech yarn born from the transformation of cotton linters through a circular, transparent and traceable process with a precious hand, optimal moisture management characteristics, whose end of life guarantees its biodegradability. Even the dyeing and finishing phases have been certified by international labels such as bluesign or Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
