Hyosung TNC Scales Bio-Based Spandex, Reports 97% Profit Jump

Hyosung TNC has moved its sugarcane-derived spandex fiber into scaled production, according to WWD, shifting its bio-based spandex line from earlier development stages to larger-scale manufacturing. The fiber is produced from sugarcane feedstock, though the source did not disclose specific capacity figures or commercialization timelines. In a separate report, Hyosung TNC posted a 97% profit jump, with its bio-spandex strategy now under examination as a potential driver of future growth. No further technical metrics, capacity figures, or financial details beyond the profit increase were provided. The absence of disclosed volumes leaves the scale of the bio-spandex expansion and its supply-chain impact unclear.
