Woolmark Unveils Woolmark+: A New Roadmap To Accelerate The Wool Industry Towards Nature Positive

LONDON —September 3, 2024 — Woolmark+ is a bold new roadmap aimed at driving the wool industry towards nature positive.

What is Woolmark+?

Woolmark announces the launch of Woolmark+, a vision designed to unite woolgrowers, supply chain and brands in ensuring a sustainable future for the wool industry. This emerges at a pivotal moment for the global fashion industry, which faces increasing demands to adopt sustainable practices amid regulatory and consumer pressure.

Woolmark+ aims to accelerate low-impact production, promote circularity and enhance animal wellbeing and woolgrower livelihoods. The roadmap sets out 13, practical initiatives intended to empower nature regeneration, reduce carbon emissions and optimise productivity. This approach not only supports woolgrowers in meeting their business objectives but also aligns with the increasing commitment from brands to mitigate Scope 3 emissions and bolster supply chain sustainability.

Highlight initiatives of Woolmark+

  1. Insetting Program: This groundbreaking initiative will establish the foundation for a wool insetting market, linking woolgrowers with global brands aiming to meet their emission targets through on- farm, nature-based solutions.
  2. Methane Emissions Reduction in Livestock: Comprising nine research and development projects, this program focuses on identifying effective strategies to reduce methane emissions from grazing sheep. Early results include a 19 percent average methane reduction and 27 percent productivity increase in grazing sheep consuming Agolin, and a 50 percent methane reduction when consuming Asparagopsis.
  3. Nature Positive Farming Specification: Developed in consultation with woolgrowers and industry partners to provide credible measures of on-farm environmental performance and enable brands to make defensible claims. Building on detailed ecological assessment of 130 wool farms, this study has identified a set of core metrics that can cost-effectively verify on-farm performance. A pilot project will look at operationalizing these metrics.
  4. Nature Positive Impact Program: This program will connect investors with research, development, and conservation projects that reduce emissions, enhance biodiversity, promote climate resilience and enable circularity.
  5. Woolmark Recycled: A new Recycled sub-brand has been added to the Woolmark Certification program to encourage more quality assured, recycled wool products and support wool’s position as the most recycled apparel fiber.

Looking beyond net zero, to nature positive

By avoiding carbon tunnel vision and targeting nature positive, Woolmark highlights the co-benefits of wool-growing for both nature and livelihoods. Nature positive is defined as halting and reversing nature loss by 2030, measured from a baseline of 2020, with approaches to restoration optimized for carbon sequestration, biodiversity recovery and livelihood benefits.

“With more than 60 years of experience, Woolmark understands the nuances of the textile industry and is dedicated to driving its success by aligning economic prosperity with positive ecological and social impact,” explained John Roberts, managing director, The Woolmark Company. “Woolgrowers in Australia are stewards of over 65 million hectares of land, and they can play a critical role in the global transition to a low-emission, nature positive market. Their commitment to nature needs to be well recognised and supported to demonstrate the wool industry’s role in supporting and enhancing biodiversity, beyond net zero targets.”

Designed with woolgrowers for the benefit of all

At its core, Woolmark+ focuses on supporting the livelihoods of woolgrowers in their role as stewards of nature. Through research, training, and the development of new tools and investment avenues, the initiatives help woolgrowers to enhance climate resilience, reduce carbon emissions, foster biodiversity, and progress animal wellbeing. The Carbon Storage Partnership is just one example of how Woolmark is collaboratively investing to identify effective and appropriate techniques for woolgrowers to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while building biodiversity and improving productivity. The project is due to finish 2025; on-farm modelling is under way and case studies for various regional zones have been completed.

Alongside environmental stewardship, the roadmap promotes a holistic, nature positive approach through the development of supply chain programs that aim to advance circularity, while ensuring demand for wool.

Suzano Completes Purchase Of 15 Percent Stake In Lenzing AG

SÃO PAULO — August 30, 2024 — Pulp producer Suzano today announced the completion of its acquisition of a 15 percent stake in Lenzing AG, the Vienna-listed leading global supplier of sustainable premium cellulosic fibers for the textile and nonwovens industry, from B&C Group. As announced in June this year, the transaction value is 230 million euros (or 39.70 euros per share). The agreement was subject to regulatory approval, which was granted without restrictions.

The long-term partnership between Suzano and B&C Group establishes that Suzano has the right to hold two seats on Lenzing’s Board and the option to acquire an additional 15 percent stake from B&C Group until the end of 2028. Following the sale of the 15 percent stake, B&C Group now holds 37.25 percent of Lenzing’s share capital.

Lenzing is a global supplier of premium wood-based cellulosic fibers (lyocell, modal, and viscose) for the production of clothing, home textiles, hygiene products, and non-woven materials.

Beto Abreu, CEO of Suzano, said: “Lenzing’s unparalleled track record of innovation and best-in-class technology make it a global leader in developing sustainable solutions from wood. With this transaction, we intend to build our expertise in the textile market and identify how we can help strengthen the company’s competitive position.”

The purchase of the stake in Lenzing is aligned with two of Suzano’s key strategic goals —  “Expand Boldly into New Markets” and “Play a Leading Role in Sustainability”. Its completion does not have a material impact on Suzano’s overall financial leverage and/or indebtedness.

Oerlikon Nonwoven Takes Part In FILTECH In Cologne

NEUMÜNSTER, Germany — September 2, 2024 — At FILTECH, the trade fair for filters and filtration systems in Cologne, November 12-14, Oerlikon Nonwoven will be presenting its market- and customer-oriented system solutions for filtration applications. The Neumünster-based plant engineering company for nonwoven production technology will be offering trade fair visitors the opportunity to meet the team in hall 8, stand B18 and immerse themselves in the company’s comprehensive product and process expertise.

Filtration: Meltblown solutions for the highest demands

Oerlikon Nonwoven meltblown technology enables the efficient and simple production of unique and highly sophisticated nonwovens for filtration, insulation and sorption applications. The polymers used for the production of filter media and membranes are just as diverse as their areas of application. The spectrum ranges from classic polyolefins (PP, PE) through PET, PLA, PBT and PA to speciality plastics such as PPS and TPU. All these and other raw materials can be safely processed using the Oerlikon Nonwoven Meltblown process.

The Oerlikon nonwoven hydrocharging technology hycuTEC for meltblown systems impresses with maximum filtration efficiency combined with low pressure loss.

With the Edana Filtrex Innovation Award-winning hycuTEC hydrocharging technology for the production of highly efficient electret filter media, the pressure loss of a typical FFP2 filter medium can be reduced to less than a quarter. “Filtration efficiencies of over 99.99% are easy to achieve with typical filter media of around 35 g/m² with a maximum pressure loss of 35 Pa,” explains Dr Ingo Mählmann, Director Sales & Marketing Oerlikon Nonwoven. “What’s more, this innovative process eliminates the need for an additional drying process for the production of high-separation electret filter media for most applications,” he continues.

Spunbond solutions: High-performance technology for filter applications

Spunbond products are becoming increasingly important in filtration applications – both as backing materials for filter media and as the filter media themselves. Thanks to a nonwoven structure tailored to their specific tasks, customer-specific requirements for different functions can be realised; it is also possible to combine different functions in one layer. In particular, many years of experience in the field of bicomponent spinning processes enable the design of completely new nonwoven structures and thus the fulfilment of different functions in one material. With the Oerlikon Nonwoven Bico spunbond process, different fiber cross-sections can be combined, but also different fibers can be produced simultaneously from one or different polymers on one system. The spectrum ranges from classic core-sheath and side-by-side bico filaments to splittable fibers and so-called mixed fibers.

Indorama Ventures, Dhunseri And Varun Beverages Joint Venture Plans Multiple Cutting-Edge Recycling Facilities In India

BANGKOK, Thailand — September 2, 2024 — Indorama Ventures Public Co. Ltd., a global sustainable chemical producer, through its direct subsidiary – IVL Dhunseri Petrochem Industries Ltd. – and Dhunseri Ventures Limited have formed a joint venture with Varun Beverages Limited, PepsiCo’s second-largest bottling company globally outside the US, to establish several greenfield state-of-the-art PET recycling facilities in India. This strategic alliance marks a substantial move towards meeting the increasing demand for recycled content throughout India, representing the companies’ collective dedication to sustainability.

The joint venture has already begun the construction of two PET recycling facilities, planned for completion within 2025, with potential for more.  One facility is in Kathua within the Jammu Division of the Indian Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, situated in Northern India, while the other is in Khurdha within the State of Odisha, located in Eastern India. The aim is to reach 100 kiloton annual capacity of recycled PET (rPET) across all the facilities when combined.

This initiative aligns with the escalating demand for rPET content in India, driven by both regulatory mandates and a collective effort towards a circular economy for PET. The surge in demand reflects a significant shift, with projected volumes increasing from approximately 400 kilotons in 2025-2026 to over 1 million tons by 2031. Mandates such as the Indian government’s compulsory requirement of 30 percent recycled plastic content in plastic packaging by 2025-2026, escalating to 60 percent by 2028-2029, underscores the urgency and importance of this transformation. Moreover, this move aims to effectively cater to the needs of India’s beverage Brand Owners, many of whom have established ambitious sustainability goals in line with regulatory directions.

Yash Lohia

Yash Lohia, representative of IVL Dhunseri, and executive president Petchem Special Projects, and chairman of the ESG Council of Indorama Ventures, stated: “We at IVL Dhunseri are delighted to collaborate with Varun Beverages, in the establishment of these mechanical recycling facilities in India. As the world’s largest recycler of PET, this partnership underscores our steadfast commitment to sustainability and our support for the region’s escalating demand for rPET content. Anticipated to substantially diminish plastic waste, these new PET recycling facilities will convert post-consumer PET bottles into valuable resources. This initiative exemplifies the shared dedication of Indorama Ventures’ and Varun Beverages to creating a circular economy, promoting environmental sustainability, and meeting the rising consumer demand for eco-friendly products.”

The amalgamation of the three industry leaders bodes well for bolstering the region’s recycling infrastructure. As regulatory frameworks increasingly advocate for heightened usage of recycled content, the joint venture is positioned to play a pivotal role in meeting these evolving requirements.

Indorama Ventures is the world’s largest producer of recycled PET resins widely used in food and beverage packaging. Since 2011, the company has operated PET recycling facilities, gradually expanding its global footprint. In 2023, Indorama Ventures achieved a significant milestone, recycling over 100 billion PET bottles. Progressing towards its target of recycling 750,000 tons or 50 billion bottles annually by 2025, the company remains dedicated to advancing circular economy practices.

Varun Jaipuria

Varun Jaipuria, executive vice chairman of Varun Beverages Ltd., added: ” As part of our long-term vision and in line with PepsiCo’s global PEP+ objectives, we remain committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. We are making investments that emphasize using green energy as well as reuse of PET which will be instrumental in mitigating environmental impact. These endeavors are aligned with our pledge to the environment and reflect our ambition to nurture a greener future. Our collaboration with Indorama Ventures represents a strategic foray for Varun Beverages into the recycling market. We believe this joint venture will yield environmental dividends and generate substantial value for our stakeholders. As India’s recycling landscape undergoes a paradigm shift, we take pride in spearheading this transformation alongside Indorama Ventures. Through this joint venture, we endeavor to harness our expertise to cater to the escalating demand for sustainable packaging solutions.”

Hyosung Collaborates With Birla Cellulose In Cellulosic Knit Collection Made With CREORA® Color+ Spandex

SEOUL —August 29, 2024 — With the intention of creating a world where vibrant colors blend effortlessly with stretchy comfort, Birla Cellulose, a global leader in viscose staple fiber (VSF), and Hyosung, a comprehensive sustainable textile solution supplier and the world’s largest manufacturer of spandex under the CREORA® brand, have co-created a collection of vibrant cellulosic knits made possible with CREORA Color+ Spandex.

“The fusion of science and style is at the heart of this initiative,” said Abir Chakrabarti, joint president, Grasim Industries Limited- Pulp & Fiber, the flagship company of Aditya Birla Group that operates Birla Cellulose plants in India. “Our research and development teams are tirelessly working to achieve the perfect balance between spandex’s elasticity and dye absorption. This blend requires meticulous testing, tweaking, and reimagining traditional processes to create a fabric that retains its stretch while embracing a full spectrum of color.”

As regular spandex does not take color well, it is a challenge to achieve all-over, rich color when dyeing it with natural fibers such as cotton, rayon, and modal. As a result, Hyosung created CREORA Color+ Spandex, a special reactive dyeable spandex developed for natural blended materials. CREORA Color+ has the same performance stretch characteristics as Hyosung’s flagship CREORA Power Fit Spandex, with the added benefit of providing deeper, richer, all-over color in natural and cellulose fabrics without grin-through — an attractive fiber blend for leading intimate, activewear and ready-to-wear brands.

“Dyeable spandex knit fabrics open worlds of possibilities for designers and creators across multiple end-uses,” said Dinesh Keswani, Hyosung director Technical and Business Development, India. “As a comprehensive provider of textile solutions dedicated to assisting our partners throughout the entire value chain in addressing complex material challenges, we are delighted to collaborate with esteemed Birla Cellulose in bringing this progressive innovation to fruition.”

“In this age of conscious consumerism, sustainability takes center stage,” Chakrabarti said.  “Our fabric isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about reducing environmental impact. By developing man-made cellulosic dyeable spandex knit fabric, we’re minimizing water usage, energy consumption, overall waste reduction with enhanced shade depth. It’s our commitment to a greener, cleaner planet as a step forward.”

According to Birla Cellulose, the road to innovation is paved with challenges, but every obstacle is a chance to learn and grow. The company is excited about its progress so far and eager to share the new cellulosic knit collection made with CREORA Color+ Spandex with customers soon.
