Sateri says certifications show commitment to transparency
08/12/2021
Together with its earlier achievement of the Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex certification that confirms its Lyocell fibre is free from any harmful substances and complies with European standards, Sateri’s lyocell products are qualified to carry the Made in Green by Oeko-Tex product label.
The certification covers chemicals management, environmental performance, environmental management, social responsibility, quality management, as well as occupational health and safety.
Allen Zhang, President of Sateri, said it showed the group’s commitment to higher levels of transparency. "In addition to having all our five viscose mills STeP certified, we now have our first lyocell facility awarded with this certification.
“This marks an important step towards sustainable value chain management. Sateri will continue to work with upstream and downstream partners to realise the sustainable development of our entire industrial chain.”
Sateri’s lyocell fibre factory in Rizhao commenced operation in May 2020, with an annual output of 20,000 tonnes. The same site houses a 5,000 tonne pilot production line dedicated for the development of lyocell application technology. The group plans to expand its lyocell annual production capacity in China up to 500,000 tonnes by 2025.
A natural and biodegradable fibre, lyocell is made from wood pulp sourced from certified and sustainable plantations. It is manufactured using closed-loop technology, requiring minimal chemical input during the production process, and utilising an organic solvent that can be almost fully (99.7%) recovered and recycled.
