Karl Mayer & Lenzing Collaborate On Eco-Friendly Textiles

Karl Mayer and Lenzing Group are collaborating to create a more environmentally friendly textile value chain.

This cooperation intends to increase the proportion of botanic and biodegradable as well as fossil-free materials used in the production of textiles on both warp knitting and flat knitting machines.

The collaboration has targeted use of up to 100% botanic and biodegradable fibres and filament yarns, specifically Tencel Lyocell fibres and Tencel Lyocell filament yarn in the warp knitting sector.

Karl Mayer said the processing of sustainable materials can create additional possibilities in terms of performance and appearance of warp knitted fabrics.

Both companies are offering manufacturers new perspectives, as by using botanic and fossil-free fibres during the production process, they can achieve extremely low CO2 emissions.
