Breakthrough of Unprecedented Innovation in the Viscose Sector

粘胶行业开创先河的创新突破

Tangcell™and Re:newcell’s cooperation leads to new viscose products made from 50% post-consumer recycled textiles

唐丝和 Re:newcell 合作推出粘胶纤维新品: 50% 的原料来自消费后回收纺织品

 

China & Sweden: June 27th 2019 - A milestone achievement has been reached for the use of recycled cotton in the viscose industry.  Earlier this month, on World Environment Day, Tangshan Sanyou succeeded in producing viscose staple fiber made from 50% post-consumer recycled cotton textiles, supplied by Swedish company Re:newcell. The remaining 50% is made of FSC COC (Forest Stewardship Council chain of custody) wood pulp and audited by CanopyStyle.

中国和瑞典:2019年6月20日,粘胶行业使用回收棉取得里程碑性质的成就。本月世界环境日唐山三友成功量产了一种新的粘胶短纤维,其中50%原料来自消费后回收的棉织品,再生棉浆由瑞典公司Re:newcell提供,剩下的50%由FSC COC(森林管理委员会监管链)木浆制成,并由Canopy模式审核。

This important milestone in the fashion industry’s transition to a circular economy is applauded by the environmental not-for-profit organization Canopy, which works collaboratively with 198 international apparel brands and retailers in search of such new innovative products. Canopy has collaborated with Tangshan Sanyou and Re:newcell for several years on sourcing solutions.

这是时装业向循环经济转型的一个重要里程碑,受到非盈利环保组织Canopy的赞扬。该组织与198个国际服装品牌和零售商合作,致力于寻找这样的创新产品。在探索采购解决方案方面,Canopy与唐山三友和Re:newcell已经携手合作多年。

The president of Tangshan Sanyou Chemical Fibre Co.Ltd, Zheng Baishan expresses,” Sanyou Chemical Fiber has been committed to providing sustainable fiber for textile industry chain with innovative technology. This cooperation with Re:newcell is a remarkable breakthrough in textile recycling field. Next, we will continue to provide more non-wood fiber solutions for brands.”

唐山三友化纤董事长郑柏山介绍说,三友化纤一直致力于以创新科技为纺织产业链提供提供可持续纤维,此次与Re:newcell 的合作是纺织品循环利用领域的非凡突破。接下来,我们将继续为品牌提供更多的非木源纤维解决方案。

Each year, 20 million tons of cotton textiles and 6.5 million tons of viscose textiles are consumed worldwide and converted into garments, beddings and personal care items such as wipes. The recycling process for cotton and its introduction into viscose fabric on an industrial scale is a new innovative technology and a timely breakthrough for the textile and fashion industries.

全球每年消耗2000万吨棉纺织品和650万吨粘胶织品,加工成服装、床品和护理等终端商品。棉制品回收及其在粘胶纤维领域的工业化循环利用,是纺织服装行业恰逢其时的创新突破。

“This breakthrough proves that we don’t need to harvest virgin forests, cotton fields or oil wells to make high quality fashion materials at a big scale. Together, Tangshan Sanyou and re:newcell have delivered what the fashion industry needs to make a transition to sustainability – a climate positive, low-impact and truly circular raw material. We will now work together with Tangshan Sanyou to build on this success and bring many thousands of tons of recycled materials to the market.” comments Mattias Jonsson, CEO of re:newcell.

“这一突破证明,我们不需要大量砍伐原始森林、占用棉田或开采油井来生产高品质的时尚材料。唐山三友和re:newcell共同提供了时尚产业向可持续发展转型所需要的纤维——一种有益气候、环境影响小、真正循环的原材料。现在,我们将与唐山三友共同努力,在这一成功的基础上,把成千上万吨的循环再生材料推向市场。re:newcell首席执行官马蒂亚斯•琼森(Mattias Jonsson)评论道。

Today’s announcement sets a completely new bar for the viscose supply chain in its quest to be more sustainable and meet brands’ preference for fabrics made from post-consumer recycled textiles. It is a remarkable precedent; one that heralds a new era of climate solutions for brands and supply chain partners.

为追求更可持续的目标和赢得品牌商对消费后回收纺织品面料的青睐,今天的声明为粘胶供应链树立了一个全新的标杆。此项声明非同凡响,它预示着品牌商和供应链伙伴合作,提供解决气候问题方案的新时代的到来。

"The introduction of a new viscose fabric made from 50% recycled textiles represents an important leap forward for the global textile and fashion industries,” said Nicole Rycroft, Canopy's Founder and Executive Director. "We congratulate Sanyou and re:newcell on these exciting results of their collaboration.
