Lenzing expands REFIBRA™ technology

by Underlines

The Lenzing Group, a world-leading producer of wood-based specialty fibers, has launched LENZING™ ECOVERO™ with REFIBRA™ technology at this year’s Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Textile Fair and Trade Show. Building on the success of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers with REFIBRA™ technology, the expansion of the REFIBRA™ technology to LENZING™ ECOVERO™ will help Lenzing 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.

As climate change compels eco-conscious living, Lenzing collaborates with the industry to forge a future defined by collective engagement and systematic change, steering us toward a circular economy.  LENZING™ ECOVERO™ with REFIBRA™ technology is well-positioned to meet the surging demand for diverse circular design innovations. This new offering empowers like-minded fabric mills, garment manufacturers and consumer brands to embark on this transformative journey alongside Lenzing – breathing new life into post-consumer textile waste while anchoring circularity at the core of the textile value chain.”

Florian Heubrandner, Executive Vice President Global Textiles Business at Lenzing.

Through Lenzing’s successful development and scaled production, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ with REFIBRA™ technology is now available to customers worldwide. Maintaining the eco-responsible benefits of the original LENZING™ ECOVERO™, the new viscose fibre with REFIBRA™ technology comprises up to 20% 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.
