PRACHINBURI - Austrian fibre producer Lenzing has completed work on its new €400 million (US$444m) lyocell plant in Thailand - said to be the biggest of its kind in the world - where production is now underway.
The company says the facility - which has a capacity of 100,000 tons per year with scope for future expansion - will play a key role in its ambitions to reduce its carbon footprint.
The plant, at Prachinburi, northeast of Bangkok, will be entirely biomass powered and will produce only Lenzing's 'eco-responsible' specialty fibres such as Tencel and Veocel.
