Circular polyester yarn production takes a major leap forward as Loop Industries partners with Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation in a strategic alliance aimed at scaling sustainable textile solutions. This collaboration merges Loop’s patented textile-to-textile recycling technology — capable of removing dyes and contaminants from end-of-life fabrics — with Shinkong’s advanced spinning capabilities and global distribution network. The result: high-performance yarns made from Loop’s Twist™ branded circular polyester resin, meeting global brands’ demands for both sustainability and quality.

Shinkong will now offer Twist™ resin to its portfolio of over 100 customers worldwide, while Loop gains direct access to large-scale yarn production, eliminating supply chain inefficiencies. The alliance also supports the upcoming Infinite Loop™ India project, accelerating adoption of low-impact textiles across global fashion and apparel markets.

This partnership strengthens Loop’s commercialization potential and positions Shinkong as a leading supplier in the circular materials space. By combining advanced recycling tech with established manufacturing infrastructure, the collaboration reduces barriers for brands transitioning to next-gen sustainable textiles, potentially reshaping global polyester sourcing practices.
