SHANGHAI - Cellulosic fibre producer Sateri is claiming a breakthrough by successfully producing viscose fibre regenerated from textile waste on a commercial production line.
The new fibre uses a mix of dissolving pulp made from recycled post-consumer textile waste by Swedish company Södra, and other PEFC-certified wood pulp.
Sateri, which claims to be the world’s largest producer of viscose, successfully trialled the fibre on a production line at the company's Linz Nanjng yarn spinning mill in China.
