Lenzing Shows New Sustainable Fibre At Intertextile Shanghai

Lenzing, a producer of cellulose fibres has unveiled Lenzing Ecovero with Refibra technology at this Intertextile Shanghai Apparel being held in Shanghai.

Building on the success of Tencel Lyocell fibres with Refibra technology, the expansion of the Refibra technology to Lenzing Ecovero will help the company increase the overall post-consumer content in its products.

“The expansion further highlights Lenzing’s ongoing stride towards the transition to a circular economy in textile and fashion with its innovative, future-proof solutions,” the Austria based company said.

The new viscose fibre with Refibra technology comprises up to 20 percent of post- consumer textile waste, which is sourced from cellulose-rich materials or polyester-cotton blends.

The waste is collected and sorted in collaboration with key industry and innovation leaders who champion post-consumer textile recycling programs.

This new fibre is identifiable at every stage of the supply chain, from fabric to final product, ensuring traceability and transparency.

“This empowers brands and retailers to offer genuine products while enabling consumers to make informed purchases,” Lenzing added.
