KELHEIM – German viscose producer Kelheim Fibres has undergone a CanopyStyle Audit, which confirms the company’s supply chain as low risk of sourcing wood from Ancient and Endangered Forests or other controversial sources.
Executed by independent third-party auditor NEPCon, the findings highlight that a significant proportion of Kelheim’s viscose products derive from FSC-certified forests.
Canopy’s executive director Nicole Rycroft has challenged the firm to attain 100 per cent of its viscose from FSC forestry and would like to see it develop and launch a fibre line from low-impact alternative materials.
