Can made-made fibres unravel the textile industry’s sustainability puzzle?
Man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF) - such as Viscose/Rayon, Lyocell, Modal and Cupro - form the second biggest cellulosic fibre group after cotton and have the potential to tackle some of the apparel and broader textile industry’s most significant sustainability challenges.
