Yibin Grace, a textile producer, celebrated their collaboration with Renewcell and the success of their latest testing phase for Next Gen Man-Made Cellulosic Fibre (MMCF) products.
These innovative fibers are composed of 50% CIRCULOSE®️ pulp, sourced entirely from 100% recycled textiles. The company has achieved a 50% blend of CIRCULOSE®️ pulp in their testing line and aims to achieve the same ratio for the market by the end of 2023.
This product represents Yibin Grace's highest recycled content viscose staple fiber to date. The partnership with Renewcell will assist Yibin Grace in fulfilling their CanopyStyle commitments and reducing the environmental impact of viscose production, aligning with China's climate goals.
Deng Min, Chairman of Yibin Grace, expressed delight in the partnership's growth and the creation of an eco-friendly staple fiber. Yibin Grace's dedication to the CanopyStyle initiative and their aspiration to establish a closed-loop fashion industry continue.
Renowned for their transition to circular manufacturing, Yibin Grace has collaborated with trading company Ekman and Renewcell to expand their Next Generation MMCF solutions. The testing of the new viscose staple fiber with 50% CIRCULOSE®️ content is underway, and plans to raise the recycled content of their filament yarn to 50% have been unveiled. Notably, CIRCULOSE®️ pulp boasts environmental benefits, releasing less carbon and requiring significantly less water compared to conventional fibers. Renewcell's CEO, Patrik Lundstrom, highlighted the potential of CIRCULOSE®️ to mitigate forest pressure and textile waste.
Currently, over 300 million trees are felled annually for fashion fabrics, but Next Generation Solutions offer sustainable alternatives, significantly reducing carbon emissions, land use, and biodiversity impact. In partnership with Renewcell, Yibin Grace is at the forefront of revolutionizing the textile industry, driving sustainability and circularity to protect our planet's resources and mitigate climate change.
