The deal between Lenzing and Renewcell includes the sale of 80,000 to 100,000 tonnes of Renewcell’s 100% recycled textile Circulose dissolving pulp to Lenzing over a five-year period, for use in the production of cellulosic fibres for fashion and other textile applications.

“The textile industry must change. By signing the agreement with Swedish textile-to-textile recycling company Renewcell, Lenzing is able to further integrate recycling and accelerate the transition of the textile industry from linear to circular. As champions of sustainability, we know that moving towards a circular economy is vital to address the enormous textile waste challenges of the industry”, says Christian Skilich, chief pulp officer of the Lenzing Group.

Patrik Lundström, Renewcell CEO, added: “Lenzing is a major player in our industry, with an inspiring track record of path-breaking technical excellence and sustainability leadership. Our new partnership fits perfectly into Renewcell’s strategy to accelerate the scale-up of circular materials by collaborating with fashion’s most important players. We are more than pleased to join forces with Lenzing with the shared goal of making fashion circular.”

Canopy, a not-for-profit environmental organisation dedicated to protecting forests, species, and climate, welcomes the agreement between Lenzing and Renewcell.

“Accelerating the transition to low-impact, circular production is the challenge of the decade for the fashion industry. That is why this partnership between Renewcell and Lenzing is so refreshing – it will bring low-carbon next gen solutions to market at scale,” stated Nicole Rycroft, executive director of Canopy. “With the climate and biodiversity clocks ticking, the race to circularity is one we need all companies to win.”

Last month, Renewcell opened its first commercial-scale textile-to-textile pulp mill in Sundsvall, Sweden.
