Lenzing to boost TreeToTextile to commercial scale
03/02/2026
The Austrian group said TreeToTextile offers a significantly improved sustainability profile, attractive cost advantages and broad applicability across textile and nonwoven markets.
Georg Kasperkovitz, chief operating officer of Lenzing, said: “TreeToTextile is among the world’s most advanced next-generation fibre technologies and represents the most promising development on the market. Since our initial investment in 2025, the collaboration between the innovative TreeToTextile team and Lenzing’s fiber experts has enabled significant technological progress.
“We are fully committed to the joint scale-up and commercialisation. H&M Group, Inter IKEA Group and Stora Enso will continue to support this path as minority shareholders, contributing valuable market and consumer perspectives.”
Lenzing plans a significant increase in production output at the existing demonstration plant in Nymölla, Sweden, as well as the preparation of the first industrial-scale facility. In addition, the company expects operational synergies.
