Lenzing is expanding its environmental leadership commitment. The group is changing from coal-fired boilers to gas-fired boilers in China. Lenzing, a leader in sustainability in the textile and nonwovens industry, is passionate about addressing the challenges the industry is facing. Lenzing plans to reduce its CO2 emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.

Lenzing supports the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action. Signatories will work together on topics like decarbonization of the production phase, selection of climate friendly and sustainable materials, low-carbon transport, improved customer dialogue and awareness of all stakeholders as well as exploring circular business models.

Lenzing also supports Refibra technology, a circular business model which uses cotton scraps as a raw material for the production of a new virgin fiber. These initiatives underpin the Lenzing Group’s ambition to help greening up the textile and the nonwovens industries by extending collaboration with partners in the industry.

Business has an increasingly vital role to play in accelerating the shift to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. Fashion plays a crucial role on both sides of the climate equation – as a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and as a sector with multiple opportunities to reduce emissions by the targeted 30 per cent while contributing to sustainable development.
