Indorama Ventures Champions Circularity at Lisbon Meet
Indorama Ventures engages global leaders at the Textile Exchange Conference to promote circularity and bio-based material adoption by 2030.
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL), a global sustainable chemical company, is actively participating in the Textile Exchange Conference 2025 in Lisbon from October 13–17. The company aims to drive systemic transformation in the textile industry by fostering collaboration with value chain partners to scale up circular and bio-based feedstock use by 2030.
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, a leading global sustainable chemical producer, will join top brand owners, textile innovators, and technology partners at the Textile Exchange Conference 2025 in Lisbon, themed “Shifting Landscapes.” The company’s delegation—comprising Vipin Kumar (Chief Commercial Officer, Fibers Business), Claire Mattelet (Global Fibers Sustainability Program Head), and technical and advocacy experts—will focus on collaborative strategies to accelerate the transition toward circularity in textiles.
Indorama Ventures views systemic change as a critical pathway to achieving a sustainable textile future. The company has set ambitious 2030 targets — 16% of externally sourced feedstock to be bio-based and 23% of PET feedstock to originate from recycled post-consumer PET bales.
Mr. Vipin Kumar
Vipin Kumar emphasized, “It is highly important for us to be at the forefront of technological, material innovation, and regulatory discussions. The Textile Exchange network and annual conference is an opportunity for us to connect with like-minded value chain partners who all share the same ambition to drive circularity in the textile industry.”
The company will also showcase its deja™ fibers and yarns portfolio, a suite of innovative solutions derived from discarded textile waste and renewable sources. Designed to advance decarbonization in global textile production, these offerings also ensure compliance with the forthcoming European Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
Indorama Ventures will display three key deja™ innovations, each addressing critical sustainability challenges:
- Deja Circular: On-demand circularity solutions providing PET fibers and filament yarns produced exclusively from recycled textile waste. These products cater to lifestyle applications like apparel and home textiles, as well as technical uses such as tires, airbags, and seat belts—offering performance equal to virgin materials while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Deja Bio: Designed to lower carbon footprints, this range leverages Indorama Ventures’ fully integrated PET supply chain in Europe and Asia to deliver low-emission, high-performance yarns. The products are certified under the Together for Sustainability framework and manufactured through a mass balance approach, supported by 11 ISCC+ certified sites across PTA, PET chips, fibers, and technical fabrics. This method blends renewable and conventional materials while attributing sustainability benefits to designated output volumes.
The bio-based high-tenacity yarns and tire cord fabrics within the Deja Bio portfolio allow for gradual bio-content integration while maintaining performance consistency with fossil-based equivalents. They can also undergo further recycling, supporting circular use. - Deja Enhanced: Focused on upcycling hard-to-recycle packaging and textile waste into new fibers and yarns through enhanced recycling technologies. Collaborating with industry partners, Indorama Ventures is developing scalable solutions that may integrate reprocessed textile feedstock in flexible proportions to align with customers’ sustainability goals.
By taking a leadership role in cross-industry collaboration, Indorama Ventures continues to advance sustainable practices within the man-made fiber sector. Its participation in the Lisbon conference underscores its long-term commitment to driving decarbonization, innovation, and circular transformation across the global textile value chain.
