Jeanius Hub Coming to Kingpins NY

The upcoming July 23-24 run of Kingpins New York at Basketball City will feature another new section of the show. The Jeanius Hub, our area for new companies, new innovations and new ideas, lands in New York after a successful debut in Amsterdam. 

Companies in the Jeanius Hub will showcase some exciting developments for the denim industry. 

Among them: 

LAB Denim, a patented, indigo-free, post-weave colorization technology that recreates authentic wear patterns without harmful chemicals. 

Circ, a recycling technology that uses a proprietary hydrothermal process to recover original materials from polycotton blends resulting in fibers that can be reused for like-new textiles.

COLOURizd, a dye process that uses proprietary technology to reduce the water used in dyeing, as well a patent-pending yarn coloration process that saves water and energy and lowers the carbon footprint. 

Circulose (formerly called Renewcell) has relaunched with new investors and a new partnership with Spanish retail chain Mango. Circulose fiber is made from 100% recycled cellulose textiles, which are recovered and reused to make regenerated man-made cellulosic fibers such as viscose, lyocell, modal and acetate.
