ZERO-TEX® SAIGON TEX
[April 8-11] ZERO-TEX® is participating in SAIGON TEX, currently being held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
At this exhibition, as with the previous Tokyo exhibition, ZERO-TEX® is showcasing CO₂-derived materials, the Beach Resort Series, the Mountain Resort Series, and a range of high-performance products.
We are introducing material proposals that balance environmental consideration and functionality, along with actual products.

The Current State of Sustainable Materials
At the core of the venue, we are conveying ZERO-TEX®'s active approach to sustainable materials.
We introduce a range of materials that address environmental considerations from different perspectives, such as CO2-DERIVED Fabric, GARMENT RECYCLED Fabric, and LOW-CARBON Fabric.
Rather than merely advocating for "eco-friendliness," we demonstrate implementable sustainability by consistently handling everything from material development to product proposals.
We believe that sustainable materials should not be seen as something special, but rather as the standard for the future.
The Challenge of Making Yarn from CO₂
A particularly eye-catching aspect of this exhibition is the development of materials that create yarn from CO₂.
Reconceptualizing carbon dioxide as a raw material, and connecting it to yarn, fabric, and then products. This idea is also a quiet statement of intent for the future of manufacturing.
Precisely because this is an area where recognition is still insufficient, ZERO-TEX® continues to carefully convey its message through actual products at exhibitions.
Beach Resort Series — Lightly Expanding Expressions
In the Beach Resort Series, we developed bright and open print expressions, centered on white fabric that is resistant to transparency.
While reflecting resort-like scenery and a light, airy feel, the foundation is ZERO-TEX®'s unique functional material.
In addition to beautiful color development, we've incorporated water repellency and comfort to create a proposal that goes beyond mere visual appeal.
Mountain Resort Series — Functionality within a Calm Atmosphere
In the Mountain Resort Series, we created a calm world view by applying botanical and nature-inspired prints to anti-transparency material, also with a white base.
The appeal of this series lies in its quiet tones and delicate patterns, while also being equipped with excellent water repellency and practicality.
It's not about choosing between decorativeness and functionality, but rather a proposal that naturally achieves both, drawing the interest of visitors.
The Expansion of High-Performance Products
One of the highlights of this exhibition is not just the materials, but also the expansion into products.
At the venue, we are showcasing items that allow visitors to experience ZERO-TEX®'s functionality, such as high-performance waterproof sneakers that are difficult to get wet and do not get stuffy, and amphibious rash guards.
By presenting the appeal of the fabrics not abstractly, but as concrete products, we are more clearly conveying how they can be utilized in daily life, leisure, and urban living.
Through the Exhibition
Through the Standard Series, Beach Resort, and Mountain Resort, ZERO-TEX® presents the potential of functional materials and the beauty that extends beyond them.
Materials are not merely functions; they exist as values that are close to people and the environment.
At SAIGON TEX, our exhibition allows visitors to concretely experience this philosophy through both materials and products.
