STOCKHOLM — October 7, 2024 — The Austria-based Lenzing Group has invested in Sweden-based fiber company TreeToTextile to accelerate development of a new renewable and resource efficient cellulose fiber for textile and nonwoven applications. The fiber aims to replace part of the cotton fiber market and help the industry reduce its environmental footprint significantly1.

“We are both proud and excited to have the leading global cellulose fiber producer join us on our journey to produce renewable and resource-efficient fibers with low environmental impact,” said Dr. Roxana Barbieru, CEO of TreeToTextile. “Scaling innovation requires time and knowledge, and we are fortunate to have the strong support from our current owners H&M Group, Inter IKEA Group, Stora Enso and LSCS Invest. Now with the additional expertise and sustainability leadership of our new shareholder Lenzing Group, our speed to market will increase significantly, to reach our ambitious goals and become an important player in the textile industry.”

Ever since TreeToTextile AB was established in 2014 by the Swedish entrepreneur Lars Stigsson, TreeToTextile’s mission has been to develop and commercialize a new, renewable and resource efficient cellulose fiber, that not only minimizes environmental impact by reducing chemical use and conserving water and energy, but also stands out in the market with its cost-effectiveness and enhanced fiber properties. The development of the fiber has been supported by its owners and strategic partners, H&M Group, Inter IKEA Group, Stora Enso and LSCS Invest. To accelerate the next phase of the company, Lenzing Group is joining with more than 85 years of experience in scaling new fiber technologies.

The Lenzing Group has a revenue of 2.52 billion euros, approximately 8,000 employees and production sites and sales representation in more than ten countries. Its nominal fiber production capacity is 1,110,000 tons and the company is behind the well-known trademarks of TENCEL™, LENZING™ ECOVERO™, VEOCEL™ and REFIBRA™.

“We are excited about TreeToTextile’s award-winning technology and production process, which further reduces environmental impact, promotes the transition to a more sustainable future and is fully in line with our corporate strategy,” said Rohit Aggarwal, CEO of the Lenzing Group. “This partnership is a significant investment and a sign of Lenzing’s relentless commitment to innovation by combining the power of its own innovation engine with a strong strategic cooperation approach. We look forward to contributing our expertise to TreeToTextile’s mission”

TreeToTextile was established in 2014 by Swedish entrepreneur Lars Stigsson, H&M Group and Inter IKEA Group, with the objective to develop and commercialize a more sustainable process for man-made cellulosic fiber. In 2016, the first fiber-volumes were produced and in 2017 an initial proof of concept was developed. Stora Enso joined in 2019, and in 2021, the announcement of the establishment of a Demo plant at Stora Enso’s former premises in Nymölla, was communicated. The investment has been supported by the Swedish Energy Agency and the Demo plant was inaugurated in 2023. In June 2024, the first bale of fiber was produced in the Demo plant, followed by continuous strong development in the different process steps.

The agreement is pending merger control and regulatory approval from relevant authorities.

The Rinnovo highlights Piana Sleep’s devotion to minimizing waste, reducing its carbon footprint, and conserving energy in the bedding industry. The Rinnovo mattress is made using Piana recycled technology, resulting in up to 46-percent fewer CO2 emissions and up to 52 percent less energy to make than an equivalent all-foam mattress. And it is up to 31 percent lighter.

Sustainea is a company created with the ambition to be the global leader in Bio-MEG, which can be used as a drop-in product, delivering high quality and functionality while significantly reducing the carbon footprint. Primient is a leading manufacturer of plant-based ingredients and industry leader in producing high-quality, low carbon dextrose.

Gustavo Sergi, CEO of Sustainea, said: “This partnership marks a significant step forward in building one of the largest sustainability ventures globally. Primient has proven to be a strategic partner and long-term ally, with notable operational synergies and shared values. The high energy efficiency and low-carbon dextrose produced at the Lafayette plant will uniquely position Sustainea’s products for both sustainability and competitiveness. This announcement greatly serves our customers who will benefit from decarbonizing an ever-growing PET [polyethylene terephthalate] market.”

Jim Stutelberg, CEO of Primient, said: “We chose a co-location partnership with Sustainea due to our aligned vision and mission, and because Sustainea’s Bio-MEG has a very strong value proposition in today’s marketplace. The selection of Lafayette is a validation of Primient’s industry-leading low carbon footprint, enabled by our investments in co-generation capabilities to transition production entirely away from the use of coal. Our collaboration with Sustainea is a great example of Primient truly living our vision of building a better future through plant-based solutions. By integrating Primient and Sustainea’s strengths, we are driving biobased innovation and filling the void for renewable, plant-based solutions.”

With enthusiastic support from the state of Indiana and the city of Lafayette, the agreement was influenced by the region’s strong infrastructure, existing transportation networks and supportive local policies. Groundbreaking is set to begin after conclusion of engineering and final investment decision, with production expected to start in 2028.

UNIVERSAL FIBERS® Expands Partnership With Forbo Flooring Systems

BRISTOL, Va. — October 7, 2024 — Universal Fibers is excited to announce the launch of Forbo Flooring Systems’ New Tessera Topology, the first collection in their Evolve+ series, using Thrive® matter yarn from Universal Fibers®.

Thrive matter is the lowest carbon footprint yarn in the industry, made from 100-percent solution-dyed nylon 6 with 90-percent recycled content. This innovative yarn, paired with Forbo’s lean production processes, results in carpet tiles with more than 75-percent recycled content and a very low embodied carbon (less than 1.5kg CO2 per square meter). The collection is manufactured in facilities using 100-percent renewable energy, including both electricity and biogas, reinforcing Forbo’s commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Donna Hannaway, head of Marketing UK and Ireland at Forbo Flooring Systems, said: “As a manufacturer, sustainability is extremely important to us at Forbo. Our core values are Renewability, Transparency and Circularity, and as such we’re always looking for ways to adapt and evolve our product portfolios in line with this, as well as to meet modern sustainability requirements. This means we are constantly developing new ways for architects and specifiers to incorporate environmentally friendly finishes into their projects, as with this new collection.”

In addition to its environmental benefits, Tessera Topology offers a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic. The collection features a geometric pattern that balances linear angles with organic textures, creating a unique and versatile design that brings warmth and character to any interior space. Designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, Tessera Topology is available ex stock, making it ideal for office refurbishments and other fast-track projects. The collection also meets stringent indoor air quality standards, such as Indoor Air Comfort Gold and GUT certification, ensuring a healthier environment for end users.

Available in collection of beautiful neutral tones and muted accent, such as the subtle beige of Pebble Tangent and the earthy green of Willow Inverse, Tessera Topology provides an ideal solution for a wide range of projects. The tiles come in a standard 50x50cm format, so can be easily integrated with other products from Forbo’s existing Tessera range, offering endless design possibilities.

Forbo’s Tessera carpet tiles can be installed adhesive free using IOBAC MagTabs™, allowing them to be easily removed and reused or recycled, supporting a circular economy. Forbo is also proud to have recently entered into partnership with the Salvation Army Trading Company, supporting it’s Take Back scheme and furniture shops with donations of reusable carpet tiles.

Universal Fibers are delighted that Tessera Topology marks a significant step forward in Forbo’s sustainability journey and is the first in the company’s Evolve+ series, a product line dedicated to enhanced sustainability and innovation in carpet tile manufacturing.

Phil Harmon, president of Universal Fibers, shared his thoughts on the collaboration: “Our work with Forbo has enabled the creation of an industry-leading product that aligns perfectly with the evolving demands of sustainability in the carpet tile industry.

NATIVA™ Begins First Harvest Of Regeneratively Farmed Cotton In Greece On World Cotton Day

HAMBURG, Germany — October 7, 2024 — The harvest of NATIVA™’s first crop of regeneratively farmed cotton begins on World Cotton Day — October 7, 2024. The world!s leading supplier of regeneratively farmed luxury fibers, NATIVA™ announced the introduction of cotton to its offer at the beginning of 2024.

Planted at the beginning of the spring in Messolonghi, Greece, by a collective of NATIVA farmers including a mother and son partnership, NATIVA’s debut crop of cotton has finally ripened and opened thanks to the blazing Mediterranean sun.

Working with regenerative cotton founding partner, Nafpaktos Textile Industry SA, every step from the cultivation to the fiber processing and yarn making takes place in Greece – resulting in a farm to fiber cycle fully accomplished within the EU and complying with EU standards in labor and environmental conservation rights.

“We are so pleased to harvest our first crop of regeneratively grown cotton,” said Maria Estrada, NATIVA Global director. “From planting the seed to picking a bumper crop of the finest quality, our goal of positively impacting the supply chain through regenerative farming is becoming a reality thanks to our wonderful partners. It is kismet for it all to happen on World Cotton Day.”

NATIVA!#s Regenerative Agriculture Program protects the land by bettering soil quality, safeguards crops by ensuring soil health, and supports farmers and local communities by improving their livelihoods. These multidisciplinary efforts further result in greater water quality and increased CO2 capturing levels. Measured over a five-year period, NATIVA aims to achieve a 20-percent increase of organic materials (natural nutrients) in the soil through its regenerative agricultural practices. This is supported by a 25-percent reduction in pesticides, with an eventual goal of zero pesticide use throughout time, and the effective eradication of tillage.

All NATIVA Cotton incorporates NATIVA Blockchain technology, which digitally tracks and logs every step of the fiber’s journey.

NATIVA is honored to introduce its farmers by name and to collaborate with premium partner brands such as Stella McCartney, Gucci, Pangaia and COS as part of their NATIVARegen™ program.

World Cotton Day: Cotton Made In Africa Celebrates World’s Top Natural Textile Fiber On October 7

HAMBURG, Germany — October 7, 2024 — Around 25 million people worldwide are employed in the production of cotton, including four million in Africa South of the Sahara alone. Thirty percent of African cotton is verified by Cotton made in Africa (CmiA). As a sustainability standard under the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF), CmiA is committed to improving both the environmental impact of fibre production and the living conditions of almost one million small-scale farmers in Africa; as an organisation, it is representing these interests at this year’s World Cotton Day Conference in Cotonou, Benin.

World Cotton Day was established at the initiative of the four cotton-producing countries collectively known as the C4: Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, and Mali. In 2021, the United Nations proclaimed 7 October the annual World Cotton Day. Under the motto “Cotton for Good”, World Cotton Day focusses on the diverse benefits of cotton and its crucial role in the sustainable development of many countries in the Global South. Organised by the World Trade Organization (WTO), the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), this year’s conference will be the first to span two days, October 7-8, as well as the first to be held in a cotton-producing country, Benin.

Together with other experts, members of the AbTF team will lend their expertise to three panels at the conference to represent the urgent concerns of small-scale cotton farmers. Particularly noteworthy is that Bagoudou Bougnon Koto, a small-scale farmer who grows CmiA Organic cotton in Benin, will join Alexandra Perschau, the head of standards and outreach at the Aid by Trade Foundation, on a panel called “Women’s Empowerment in the Cotton Value Chain”, thereby bringing a small-scale farmer’s perspective directly to the international stage.

“Women play a crucial role in cotton cultivation, and we have made significant progress in achieving equality between women and men thanks to CmiA and the requirements of our standard,” said Perschau. “Access to training and education is crucial to ensuring equal opportunities for women. It is also important that existing social norms and barriers no longer act as obstacles. CmiA is committed to continue questioning and changing these structures so that every woman can develop her full potential.”

All team members’ panel appearances will reflect at least one shared concern: that small-scale cotton cultivation is under existential threat. As reported in Klimareporter, for instance, people in Africa are responsible for less than ten percent of climate change, but they nonetheless bear the brunt of its effects. These include destroyed crops and devastated livelihoods as well as catastrophic droughts, floods, pest infestations, and the spread of plant diseases.

Together with experts from the spheres of industry, academia, and public interest, AbTF will call for farmers to be offered support with building up a new, more resilient form of cotton cultivation in Africa. Only by alleviating the impact of climate change and ensuring that cotton cultivation remains attractive for future generations of small-scale farmers can the world guarantee the long-term supply of cotton to its markets.
