The relationship between environmental protection and fashion is getting closer and closer, which is one of the most important research topics in the fashion industry in recent years. Environmental protection is not only a call. More and more brands pay more attention to environmentally-friendly capsules, and plan to cover environmental products in the main series. Fashion companies are using practical actions to carry out environmental protection. For knitwear, yarn has become the most critical link in environmental protection. More and more enterprises begin to consider whether the yarn is pollution-free, degradable, recyclable, energy-saving, low-consumption and harmless to human body. This report starts from the connection between sustainable development and knitwear, and aims at the controllable cost and quantity production to extract three key trends: recycled cotton, environmentally-friendly tencel, and recycled polyester made from polyester waste like mineral water bottle.

Recycled cotton emphasizes that waste cotton can be added to raw materials to greatly expand the range of raw materials, and reduce the demand for wood and other raw materials, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the global forest ecological environment. It is one of the most important parts of sustainable fashion of yarn in the future. Recycled cotton can be blended with other fabrics to highlight the soft hand feel, durability, unique antibacterial feature, and excellent breathability, so it will be an important sustainable yarn in S/S 2021.

Recycled cotton can be blended with terylene to effectively optimize the soft feature of pure cotton. The ultra-fine count is well applied to the fine-gauged knitwear of summer. The fabric blended with terylene is dry, breathable and crisp, so various cutout stitches become the development point of S/S 2021 knitwear.

With an environmentally-friendly closed processing, tencel is not only excellent in quality, functionality and application, but also highly tensile, moisture-wicking, soft and skin-friendly. The more than 99% recovery rate of solution during producing tencel has attracted more attention in recent years with more emphasis on environmental protection. Tencel in the yarn has natural gloss, smooth hand feel, high strength, and no shrinkage. It is blended with wool and silkworm protein to reduce the gloss of tencel and makes it more moisture-wicking and breathable. It will be the trendy yarn for the lady style in S/S 2021.
