Retailer to make 1m pieces from ‘new’ recycled textile and wood pulp fibre
Fashion retailer Lindex is set to offer apparel made using fellow Swedish enterprise Södra’s OnceMore pulp from early next year, the company has revealed.
Forestry group Södra’s OnceMore process involves combining wood cellulose with textile waste to create a pure, high-quality dissolving pulp. It entered into an agreement with Austrian fibre producer Lenzing last summer, with a view to scaling the amount of textile waste which goes into OnceMore by as much as ten times in 2022.
