At Lenzing, we are constantly aiming to push the needle in circularity, and we’re excited to see how our downstream partners are accelerating efforts in material reuse.
Recently, a few of our mill customers—Artistic Milliners in Pakistan, Canatiba in Brazil and Textil Santanderina in Spain—have created processes to mechanically recycle TENCEL™ branded lyocell fibers into new jeans. This creates a circular stream for pre-consumer lyocell waste that occurs naturally in the production process, reusing the fibers at a commercial scale.
To expand on this circular concept, Lenzing is partnering with the mills to launch the first phase of our Fiber Recycling Initiative.
