Birla Cellulose, a leading producer of environmentally conscious Man-Made Cellulosic Fibers (MMCF), has launched a new Circular Fiber Blend. This innovative blend contains 50% mechanically recycled fiber while maintaining high-strength yarn, making it ideal for fabric and garment production. The blend is certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS), Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), FSC, and High Index. It also incorporates blockchain technology for traceability.
The mechanical recycling process used to convert PCW waste into fiber is chemical-free and highly energy-efficient. It also minimizes water usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the Circular Yarn Blend utilizes in-situ coloration, where recycled dope-dyed/mélange yarn negates the need for additional dyes or pigments, further reducing its environmental impact.
Birla Cellulose's Circular Fiber Blend offers a comprehensive approach to sustainable and environmentally responsible textile production. It addresses multiple environmental concerns, including energy consumption, water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste reduction. The company is confident that this initiative will encourage the textile industry to adopt more sustainable options.
