Changing the value chain is a collaborative process. With this in mind, a new project from Austrian nonprofit RTDS Group is bringing together Lenzing as well as 13 other industry parties to develop and scale the use of lyocell filament yarns as an alternative to synthetics, allowing for more recyclable textiles.
The four-year project is co-funded by the European Union, which has provided 6.9 million euros of financial support through an EU Horizon Europe grant. Dubbed CELLFIL, which stands for CELLulose Lyocell FILaments as a Scalable Solution for Circular Textile Production, the initiative includes partners from academia, machinery suppliers, fabric producers, Orange Fiber, sustainable consultancy Quantis and brands Adidas and Filati Poland.
