Sustainable product innovation

In a rapidly changing market environment, if Handa Industries wants to maintain its lead amidst fierce competition, product innovation, as the core driving force for corporate longevity, has become an industry consensus. Based on this, Handa Industries continues to deepen the construction of its product innovation system—by systematically improving product technology content and functional experience, continuously consolidating the core value-added of products, and dynamically responding to the iterative and upgraded demand patterns of customers and consumers. This has established a closed-loop advantage in the market: "demand anticipation - innovation implementation - value delivery."

Fabric research and development

As the "Functional Knitted Fabric Product Development Base of the China National Textile and Apparel Council," "Functional Knitted Fabric Trend Research Center of the China National Textile and Apparel Council," and "Industry Industrial Design Center," Handa Industries has consistently focused on the R&D, innovation, and promotion of functional and differentiated knitted fabrics. By continuously researching new domestic and international raw materials, advanced weaving and finishing technologies, and integrating cutting-edge fashion trends with brand trends, Handa Industries continuously innovates and upgrades its products, resulting in the company holding 25 patents. At the same time, Handa Industries consistently adheres to the "Green Handa" corporate development strategy, effectively utilizing environmentally friendly, recycled, and sustainable materials in its R&D efforts to minimize negative environmental impacts from the very beginning.

With "technology, fashion, and green" as the core of its product research and development, Handa Industries has deeply laid out the "Heng" series of functional fabrics. It successfully developed approximately 250 fabrics throughout 2024, driving industry change with its innovative strength.

Heng Technology Focusing on functional breakthroughs, the company mainly promotes functional fabrics such as quick-drying, sun-proof and cool, warm, and sweat-free. Among them, the quick-drying series has a moisture absorption and quick-drying value far exceeding the national standard level 3, and the sweat-free series has also received positive feedback from various customers. It maximizes functionality and conquers consumers with data and experience; Heng Fashion series focuses on scenario design, nylon-spandex products, sports and leisure categories, and H-leggings yoga series, providing comfortable and fashionable experience for multiple scenarios such as home, office, leisure, and sports; Heng Green practices a sustainable development strategy, and uses bio-based, solution-dyed, paper yarn wool, recycled and other environmentally friendly products to help companies transform into green.

Innovative Environmental Protection: Handa Industries's Green Technology Practices

Scientific research confirms that microplastics have invaded human arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality by 4.53 times. In response to this global environmental threat, Handa Industries, in collaboration with Donghua University, conducted technical research to transform used lunch boxes into ultra-fine polypropylene fibers, successfully developing the first low-carbon fabric made from recycled lunch boxes. This fabric reduces carbon emissions by 73% compared to virgin materials, not only creating a high-value recycling path for takeout lunch boxes but also enabling the production of quick-drying T-shirts and marathon capes, completing the closed-loop transformation from "plastic waste → eco-friendly fabric → practical apparel." This innovative achievement was also published in the prestigious journal Nature.

Cooperate with China Textile Information Center to hold a fabric designer technical salon

On December 20, Handa Industries and China Textile Information Center jointly held the "2024 Fabrics China Club Product Development Technology Salon". More than 60 of the top ten textile fabric designers and industry elites in China visited Handa and explored fabric innovation through workshop visits, product demonstrations, and theme sharing.

At the event, Tmall TMIC analyzed 25SS trends, industry experts shared insights on topics such as cycling culture and sustainable new materials, and Chen Baojian, Deputy Director of the National Textile Product Development Center, provided in-depth analysis of how technological innovation drives industrial upgrading.

3D & AI Design 

To proactively address resource and environmental challenges and reduce sample consumption and waste, Handa Industrieshas developed Handa 3D digital design software. This innovative tool significantly improves design efficiency and product performance prediction through features such as 3D modeling and proofing, 3D convenient revisions, 3D rendering simulation, and 3D content display.

3D modeling and proofing: Rapidly generate highly realistic samples in a virtual environment, shortening the R&D cycle.

3D convenient revision: Through AI intelligent analysis, you can easily adjust the design plan and improve R&D efficiency.

3D rendering simulation: Combined with AI algorithms, it accurately predicts the actual product effect, avoiding production waste and quality issues.

3D content display: Present products in a vivid way to enhance customer experience.

By 2024, Handa's apparel design department had designed over 1,500 products using 3D digital design technology, over 100 of which were adopted by renowned domestic and international sports brands (such as UBRAS, PUMA, ALPEN, and LUFIAN), generating over 50 million in sales. This technology not only helped the company reduce resource consumption in sample production but also enhanced product competitiveness through precise design and rapid iteration, providing strong support for the company's sustainable development strategy.

By integrating technological innovation with commercialization, Handa has not only achieved remarkable results in garment design but has also actively contributed to the industry's development towards efficiency, environmental protection, and intelligence.
