Álvaro Hincapié Vélez - President of Enka de Colombia
The innovative and highly sustainable offer that Enka will present at Colombiatex 2022 focuses especially on EKO®Filaments, developed from post-consumer recycled PET bottles, which are subsequently used in the production of knitted and woven fabrics for high quality garments, which provide special conditions of touch, comfort and color. In addition, we offer Mass Dyed Filaments that generate water and energy savings, avoiding contamination of water sources and guaranteeing color homogeneity and reproducibility.
We will also have BIO filaments on the market, manufactured with CiCLO® additives that accelerate the biodegradation process of polyester and contribute to the reduction of waste and pollution of the oceans. These filaments can also be made from recycled PET bottles (BIO and EKO®), generating great benefits for the environment.
