Kelheim Fibers has been selected among the finalist for Sustainability Heroes Award in the ‘Sustainable Innovation’ category reports Textile World. The company has been honored for its pioneering efforts in sustainability. The award will be presented by DQS - German Association for Sustainability and DGQ-German Association for Quality.
As against other plant-based fibers, viscose fibers can be modified and functionalized during the production process. They can be adapted to meet the exact requirements of the single components of a hygiene product in terms of their liquid management properties and match the performance of synthetic fibers.
Today, environmentally conscious consumers are often compelled to decide between feeling safe and a clear conscience. Kelheim Fibers aims to balance both by combining sustainably manufactured and completely biodegradable fibers with the technical performance of synthetic fibers. The company aims to reduce the use of crude-oil-based plastics in single-use products and their negative impact on the environment.
