Economy with a future
The resources of our planet are limited. For this reason, we are committed to establishing the circular economy as a sustainable, future-oriented concept in the industry and to protect the Earth in this way.
Sustainable and efficient use and processing of all raw materials is required to protect the environment. We have countered the wastefulness of business as usual with circular economy models. For example, we have shown how our environmentally responsible technology turns discarded garments into new sources of raw material for high-quality fibers.
What is circular economy?
The circular economy is oriented to nature as its role model. In essence, the concept of the circular economy aims to keep raw materials in a closed loop. In this way, resources are maximally used, the need for new ones is reduced, waste is avoided and the life cycle of products is increased. In short, the waste of today becomes the raw material of tomorrow - the same as in nature.
In this way, the circular economy differs from the current economic system i.e. the linear system, in which products are manufactured, used and disposed of.
Recycling textile waste
To address the enormous textile waste challenges of industry and society, Lenzing has developed a unique upcycling technology branded REFIBRA™. This technology utilizes pre-consumer cotton scraps and post-consumer garments from the textile value chain as raw materials.
