The Material Sustainability Index (MSI) scores for Thai Acrylic Fibre Co.’s (TAF) Regel recycled acrylic fibre have now been officially published on Wordly Portal, formerly known as Higg. The achievement marks a significant milestone in Regel fibre’s journey, TAF reports.

Regel is a recycled acrylic fibre from TAF, that offers a sustainable solution to the textile industry’s waste management challenges through an authentic and intimate chemical recycling process that delivers warmth, comfort and vibrant shades.

Regel stands alongside Radianza, both made by TAF, as the only two acrylic fibre brands to have unveiled their MSI Scores, setting them apart as leaders in sustainable practices within the industry, the company says.

A highlight of the achievement lies in the substantial reduction in the environmental footprint facilitated by Regel.  In contrast to virgin acrylic fibre, the MSI Scores and LCA study show a remarkable improvement, particularly in terms of Global Warming Potential (carbon footprint), showcasing a reduction of approximately 30%. This improvement is largely attributed to the integration of a minimum of 50% recycled content in Regel, effectively decreasing the reliance on virgin polymer, which is a primary contributor of GWP.

“We are thrilled about this published MSI scores of Regel - it is clear that Regel has taken significant steps to minimize its environmental footprint and promote sustainability in the textile industry as well as provide alternatives to conventional fibres that align with environmentally conscious values,” says Tuhin Kulshreshtha, Head of Marketing, TAF.

What makes Regel even more exceptional, TAF adds, is its range of sustainable attributes position it as a truly remarkable recycled acrylic fibre, that has:

- GRS Certification

- Bluesign APPROVED certification

- MSI Scores

- LCA Study (independently conducted)

- 50% and 75% recycled content variants

- Made by using clean solvents (NO USE of DMF/DMAc)
