Seawool®: A Revolutionary Innovation in Circular Fashion Inspired by Nature
Seawool® is a revolutionary textile innovation made from recycled oyster shells and ocean plastics that transforms marine waste into high-performance fibers while honoring Taiwan's oyster-farming heritage. Just 1% of the world's annual shellfish waste can produce up to 900 tons of Seawool® fiber, demonstrating the material's vast potential to support a circular economy and reduce environmental impact. In 2023 alone, the company successfully repurposed 100 tons of oyster shells and 300 tons of post-consumer plastic waste.
Beyond durability, Seawool® offers exceptional functionality thanks to its merino blend:
- Naturally antibacterial and odor resistant
- Thermal regulation and softness to the touch
- The comfort and feel of wool with an added performance advantage
- Machine washable, eliminating the need for toxic dry cleaning
Seawool®'s pioneering impact has been recognized globally, including prestigious accolades such as the Red Dot Award. Its low-carbon, low-water production process sets a new benchmark in sustainable textile manufacturing. By merging natural inspiration with technological advancement, Seawool® is not only addressing pressing environmental challenges but also reshaping the future of responsible fashion.
Smawarm®: Versatile warmth, redefined
Smawarm® is a revolutionary thermal insulation material that twists Seawool® fibers into a spiral shape, mimicking the hollow strands of polar bear fur that trap heat. This biomimetic twist enhances thermal retention, resulting in a high-performance material that provides warmth while being durable.
At the heart of this innovation are micro-air pockets formed by oyster shell fibers. These natural thermal barriers effectively retain body heat without adding bulk, making the fabric lightweight, soft, and comfortable to wear. Years of research and development by Creative Tech Textile / Hans Global have resulted in a solution that redefines warmth through intelligent insulation and superior thermal regulation.
The fabric offers key performance characteristics that are suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Breathable, moisture-wicking and quick-drying
- Antibacterial and static electricity resistant
- Ideal for everyday wear, outdoor gear and high-performance items such as gloves, jackets, bedding and insulated bags.
“Seawool® is our base fabric, which we like to call the ‘emerald of the ocean.’ To create it, we transform oyster shells and ocean plastics into high-performance fibers that reduce environmental impact without compromising quality. Building on this heritage, Smawarm® offers lightweight, breathable insulation that provides warmth and comfort with a biomimetic touch,” concludes Eddie.
Create Tech Textile / Hans Global is also an active member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) and participates in the Higg Index, strengthening its alignment with environmental, social and governance (ESG) best practices throughout its value chain.
