Birla Cellulose has come up with its new Circular Fiber Blend that significantly enhances the proportion of mechanically recycled fibre to 50 per cent while maintaining high-strength yarn, making it ideal for fabric and garment production across diverse categories.
Birla Cellulose is the division responsible for pulp and fibres within the Aditya Birla Group and it is a prominent producer specialising in environmentally conscious Man-Made Cellulosic Fibres (MMCF).
In a press release, the company informed that the Circular Yarn Blend promises exceptional sustainability credentials, including recognition from the Global Recycle Standard (GRS) for Pre-& Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) materials, the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), FSC certification, and High Index certification.
It also incorporates block chain technology, enabling full traceability of the yarn blend.
The mechanical recycling process used to convert PCW waste into fibre is chemical-free and the most energy-efficient process for sustainable yarn production.
Through mechanical recycling, the process minimises energy consumption, making it highly energy-efficient. Additionally, it is eco-friendly and this method also has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions, significantly reducing the carbon footprint. The process also ensures minimal water usage throughout its lifecycle.
ManMohan Singh, Chief Marketing Officer, of Birla Cellulose adds “Birla Cellulose takes great pride in introducing an innovative approach to recycle mechanical textile waste, utilising cutting-edge technology for both pre and post-consumer textile waste. Our goal is to create a sustainable environment, fostering eco-friendly practices. We are confident that this initiative will encourage the textile industry to adopt more sustainable options, meeting consumer demand while upholding the highest quality standards and sustainable practices.’’
The sustainable fibres offered by Birla Cellulose’s extensive product line allow the company to serve various markets. Their fibres, like Viscose, Modal, and Lyocell, are known for being soft, comfortable, and easy to work with.
