Hello. I’m Kayaba from the ApparelX Trend Blog.
This time, we would like to introduce interlinings made with recycled materials from Nitto Boseki.

Until not long ago, recycled materials sometimes lagged behind virgin materials in color development and performance, but today their color development and performance are comparable to virgin materials.
Also, by using dope-dyed yarn, the dyeing process can be omitted, which reduces CO2 emissions and water usage.
It seems they put a lot of effort into development, not only by using recycled materials, but also by using dope-dyed yarn and obtaining OEKO-TEX certification.
We also included comparisons with standard interlinings (ON series, OMU series) in the product descriptions, so we hope you will find them useful.
Interlining is an unseen part, so cost may be the priority, but there are products like this that aim for SDGs even in such unseen areas.
I think sustainability as an added value will continue to grow in importance, so please consider these interlinings as well.
Thank you.
