Zhejiang Huilong New Materials Co., Ltd., a leading intelligent manufacturing enterprise specializing in dope dyed polyester yarn, announced a $5 million strategic investment in Ambercycle. This partnership reflects their shared commitment to green fiber innovation, with plans to expand the production capacity of T2T dope dyed polyester yarn.

 Ambercycle, based in Los Angeles, is reshaping the future of materials with cycora®—high-quality regenerated polyester made entirely from end-of-life textiles. Through its advanced molecular regeneration technology, Ambercycle is able to provide high-quality, sustainable polyester fibers that offer a premium alternative to virgin materials, positioning itself as a key player in the shift towards a circular textile economy.

  Huilong is a pioneer in differentiated dope dyed polyester yarn production. Driven by a vision to become a global leader in sustainable and colorful new materials, the company serves over 20,000 customers worldwide, spanning key textile markets in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Its products are widely applied in home textiles, outdoor products, automotive interiors, and activewear.

  Traditional dyeing methods are characterized by high energy consumption and pollution levels. In contrast, Huilong’s dope dyed polyester yarn offers uniform coloring, excellent colorfastness, and eco-friendly properties, effectively addressing the high energy, water, and COD emissions challenges of conventional dyeing. By using cycora® recycled materials, Huilong products enable closed-loop recycling of waste textiles, further reducing carbon emissions at the yarn production stage and meeting the diverse needs of Fabric manufacturers and global brands.

  Through this collaboration, Ambercycle will integrate its regenerated polyester into Huilong’s facilities in China and Indonesia. This integration aims to shorten the global waste textile recycling chain, and streamline the T2T dope dyed polyester yarn supply chain. By combining Huilong’s extensive expertise in the polyester yarn sector with Ambercycle’s proficiency in circular materials, the two companies aim to scale up T2T dope dyed polyester yarn production and enhance its global market adoption.

Chairman Shen Shunhua of Huilong expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership:

  “Over the past 20 years, Huilong has remained steadfast in its mission to advocate for environmental sustainability and drive social progress. This strategic investment in Ambercycle marks our pioneering effort in the T2T recycled materials sector, integrating T2T attributes into our flagship product—dope dyed polyester yarn. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for Huilong to expand the application of green fiber materials. We are excited to work alongside Ambercycle to contribute to the textile industry’s green transition.”

 Shay Sethi, Co-founder and CEO of Ambercycle, emphasized the importance of the partnership in scaling operations: "Working with Huilong will allow us to significantly expand our impact, enabling us to meet the growing demand for circular materials in the global fashion industry. Together, we are building the future of sustainable fashion."

  The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment when the global textile industry is emphasizing sustainability and the circular economy. Current data shows that less than 1% of discarded textiles are recycled within closed-loop systems. By replacing virgin materials with cycora® recycled textiles, brands can easily embed sustainability into their supply chains, significantly advancing the industry’s transition to a circular economy.
