    Kelheim Joins ETP Sustainability Programs

    Goal is to actively shape the sustainable realignment of the European textile industry

    The Bavarian viscose speciality fibers manufacturer Kelheim Fibres has partnered with the European Technology Platform for the Future of Textiles and Clothing (ETP) in two strategic programs: “Bio-Based Fibres” and “Circular Economy.”

    Against the backdrop of the increasingly important sustainability debate, fundamental changes inside the textile supply chain are taking place. The two three-year ETP programs “Bio-Based Fibres” and “Circular Economy” are a clear response to this. The goal is to bring key players from industry and science together to develop a long-term strategy to actively shape the sustainable realignment of the European textile industry.

    “We have been manufacturing bio-based fibers for almost 85 years – these fibers are made from the renewable material wood and they are fully biodegradable at the end of their product lifecycle. As an alternative to crude-oil based materials, these fibers are becoming increasingly popular in various applications. Part of the reason for this is the fact that we can functionalize our speciality fibers during the production process and give them the exact properties that are required for different end uses. In terms of performance, they can keep up with synthetic materials,” explains Dr. Marina Crnoja-Cosic, head of New Business Development at Kelheim Fibres.

    But Kelheim’s sustainability criteria also include the full life cycle of their products: When a textile, after its use, can become the raw material for new fibers and new products, for Crnoja-Cosic that is a huge advantage in terms of sustainability. “We want the best possible result – bio-based fibers and circular economy are the way to get there.”
