This expanded capability addresses a recurring challenge faced by brands, mills, and innovators: limited access to flexible production volumes and technical customisation during the development phase. Conventional polyester manufacturing is typically optimised for large scale output and high minimum order quantities, leaving little room for small order volumes, iterative trials, or application specific specifications. The new CELYS manufacturing line is designed to close this gap.

Intimiti has strengthened its CELYS material strategy by acquiring a dedicated manufacturing line to support innovation, customisation and early-stage commercialisation of compostable polyester filaments.
The new line enables small batches, tailored specifications and faster concept-to-validation, while advancing CELYS as a flexible platform with greater transparency.

Enabling Development and Filament Innovation

The newly acquired manufacturing line enables Celys to support smaller order quantities and customised filament specifications, allowing partners to move efficiently from concept to validation. Designed for development, sampling, and specialised applications, this capability delivers the precision and responsiveness required during early-stage material innovation, while enabling closer collaboration on filament parameters, functional requirements, and performance optimisation.

These advances mark Celys’ evolution from a single material innovation to a more flexible material platform, designed to integrate seamlessly into existing textile ecosystems while enabling greater agility at the front end of development.

Building the Foundation for Transparency

Alongside the expansion of manufacturing capability, Celys is progressing toward the release of Life Cycle Assessment data. Additional technical specifications and performance metrics are also in development, providing partners with greater transparency and confidence as projects advance toward commercialisation.

“Our focus extends beyond material innovation to building the infrastructure required for adoption at scale,” said Dr Gray Li, Chief Technology Officer at Celys. “This manufacturing capability enables closer collaboration, increased flexibility, and more practical pathways from development to commercial products.”

As a result, the industry’s **** climate deadline depends on delivering sharp near-term emissions reductions, accelerating the shift to renewable energy and aligning business models with a *.*°C trajectory. However, global assessments suggest the sector is unlikely to meet these goals on its current trajectory. According to the Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), a global nonprofit focused on reducing the environmental impact of the apparel and footwear industry, sector emissions remain far from the pathway required to limit global warming to *.*°C. Industry greenhouse gas emissions rose by *.* per cent in **** compared with ****, marking the first year-on-year increase since tracking began in ****.

Analysis by global management consulting firm McKinsey and fashion advocacy group Global Fashion Agenda indicates that emissions must fall to about *.* billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by **** to stay aligned with a *.*°C pathway. Without stronger action, continued industry growth could push emissions to nearly twice that level.

Indonesia’s second-hand clothing boom, despite a long-standing ban on importing used clothes (since ****) aimed at protecting the domestic textile industry, preventing health and environmental risks, and promoting local production, is fast becoming one of the country’s most troubling economic and environmental dilemmas.

What began as an underground trade catering to budget-conscious shoppers has evolved into a full-blown national concern—one that is hollowing out the industry, overwhelming landfills, and upending the domestic market.
