Indorama Ventures has strengthened its push towards textile circularity with the launch of textile recycled Trevira CS Eco flame retardant fibres and yarns, marking a significant step in sustainable material innovation for interior and contract textiles.

The development is enabled through Indorama Ventures’ strategic joint venture with Jiaren Chemical Recycling, a specialist in textile-to-textile recycling. The partnership focuses on converting post-consumer and industrial textile waste into recycled polyester chips, which are then transformed into high modified Trevira flame retardant fibres and yarns. Fabrics produced using these fibres can qualify for the Trevira CS Eco brand while retaining the permanent flame-retardant performance associated with Trevira CS since 1980.

Jesper Nielsen, Global Key Account Manager Flame Retardancy at Indorama Ventures, explained that the initiative allows customers to combine circularity credentials with long term safety and performance. The approach ensures that sustainability gains do not come at the cost of comfort durability or regulatory compliance, which remain critical in public and commercial interior applications.

Indorama Ventures announced its partnership with Jiaren Chemical Recycling in November 2025, underlining its ambition to scale textile circularity and reduce reliance on virgin raw materials. The newly introduced Trevira CS Eco fibres represent one of the first tangible outcomes of this collaboration, supporting more resource efficient textile production while meeting stringent fire safety standards.

The innovation arrives at a time when the global textile industry is under increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact. Textile production contributes nearly 3% of global CO2 emissions, while circular solutions are projected to cut lifecycle emissions by over 30% in synthetic fibre value chains. Trevira CS Eco positions Indorama Ventures at the intersection of safety performance and circular design, offering brands and specifiers a credible pathway to meet sustainability goals without compromise.
