Youngone's Ecoloft targets global market with performance and sustainability

Youngone's eco-friendly insulation line Ecoloft is building its competitive edge in global markets through a combination of high performance and sustainability.

Ecoloft is an eco-friendly insulation product that incorporates sustainable solutions including textile-to-textile (T2T) recycling technology — which transforms fabric scraps into new raw materials — as well as 100 percent natural and biotech-based materials. Youngone has expanded its eco-friendly insulation lineup since launching Ecoloft Renew in 2020.

The flagship Ecoloft Lightflow achieves an ultralight, stretch construction that moves naturally with the body. Ecoloft Fluff CL uses 100 percent recycled PET while replicating the three-dimensional structure of natural down. Ecoloft HEAT Aerolite combines recycled polypropylene with aerogel composite materials to deliver superior thermal insulation in extreme conditions.

Beyond Ecoloft and its other eco-friendly insulation products, Youngone is developing new sustainable materials such as Bio Nylon56 and pursuing a circular economy through recycled fabrics. The company also plans to establish a textile and fashion R&D center by 2027 to strengthen its eco-friendly material development and sustainable production capabilities.

"We will continue investing so that eco-friendly raw materials — backed by Youngone's world-class accumulated expertise — can advance beyond simple recycling into high-performance, high-value materials," said Seong Rae-eun, vice chairwoman of Youngone Group.
