Singtex introduced S.Café yarn technology in 2009. Through the S.Café producing process, it extracts 11 per cent oil from coffee grounds. The coffee oil is not only used in cosmetics but also in shelter membrane.
Singtex is the first textile company to use EcoPaXX to make Singtex Biotec bio-based nylon fabrics. EcoPaXX is made of 70 per cent tropical castor bean oil, reducing the use of petroleum. This eco-friendly, high performance nylon fabric is perfect for outdoor environment. Bio-nylon fabrics are durable, lightweight, abrasion and tear resistant which is perfect for backpack and outdoor equipment fabrics.
The company has also developed an eco-friendly moderate stretch fabric with long-lasting performance, S.Leisure, and it features comfort stretch with breathability, fast-dry, lightweight and good recovery while emitting less carbon footprint. S.Leisure is recyclable and designed to replace fabrics with six per cent spandex and below to tackle the issue. The dyeing process of S.Leisure is at least 20 per cent more energy efficient than spandex.
