Welcome for new deforestation regulation from Kelheim Fibres
Viscose fibre manufacturer Kelheim Fibres has welcomed new European Union regulation on deforestation-free supply chains, adopted at the end of 2022.
The new rules are intended to prevent goods that cause forest degradation or deforestation from being placed on the EU market.
“Wood is an incredibly versatile and valuable renewable resource and the basis for countless products,” said Kelheim Fibres chief executive, Craig Barker. “Our viscose fibres, which offer an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic materials in various applications, are just one example. Of course, this only applies if the production of our raw materials does not take place at the expense of our earth’s natural forest resources.”
He pointed out that the Bavaria-based fibre manufacturer uses only certified pulp from sustainably managed sources.
