In January 2022, Toray Industries, Inc. (hereafter referred to as Toray), a major Japanese chemical company, announced the development and sale of "ecodearⓇN510," a nylon fiber made entirely from plant-based polymers. This new addition to the "ecodearⓇ" product line, a comprehensive brand of bio-derived polymer materials and products, attracted significant attention, especially in the fashion industry, with news outlets around the world reporting on it.
At a time when sustainability and environmental stewardship are increasingly in focus, "ecodearⓇN510" has emerged as a new material that can greatly contribute to achieving these goals. Approximately one year after its introduction, however, How much impact and repercussions did it actually have?
In this article, we feature an interview with Jun Otsuka, Head of the Sports and Clothing Materials Division at Toray Industries, Inc. He discusses the development of "ecodearⓇN510," the feedback received so far, and the future that Toray envisions through this material.
