Lenzing is pioneering innovative business models focused on circularity, encompassing all aspects from chemical textile recycling, such as their collaboration with Södra, to integrating various recycling technologies.
Lenzing collaborates with Södra on a recycling project, named “Textile Recycling in Europe at Scale”, funded by the EU programme LIFE. The project aims to accelerate technological development of textile recycling and expand capacity to generate pulp from post-consumer waste. The project involves constructing and managing a facility for joint process development and extending the OnceMore® recycling process. This project started in 2023 and will continue until 2028.
In 2024, for instance, Recyc Leather and Lenzing combined recycled leather fibres with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres to develop a next-generation material for footwear, which was utilized by the Danish contemporary brand GANNI. As another example, Lenzing and an innovative network of partners have developed a concept for recycling geotextiles made from Lenzing nonwoven fibres. After the geotextiles successfully protected a glacier field from melting in summer, instead of being disposed they were collected and recycled into a fashionable ‘Glacier Jacket’ garment.
