The Lenzing Group, a leading supplier of regenerated cellulose fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, announces a significant milestone in its partnership with C.P.L. Prodotti Chimici srl, a renowned supplier of chemical products for the textile industry. LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased, a by-product of pulp production, is at the center of this collaboration. Oniverse, which also owns the renowned fashion brand Calzedonia, will not only rely on Lenzing for its fibers in the future but will also use LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased for dyeing textiles.
Lenzing has always collaborated with partners to create solutions that satisfy industry demands for a circular economy. Customers’ confidence in Lenzing’s biorefinery products is demonstrated by the strategic alliances with Oniverse and C.P.L., the first license partner for LENZINGTM Acetic Acid Biobased. These partnerships are an effective illustration of how transparency and more sustainable and eco-friendly products are becoming more and more important in the market. Additionally, through co-branding, Lenzing makes its own products more visible to partners and consumers, whether in the biorefinery product line or the textile and nonwovens industry.
“The collaboration with C.P.L. and Oniverse is another important step towards promoting the circular economy. Thanks to its high purity and low carbon footprint, our LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased plays a central role in many industrial processes. This strategic alliance underlines the industry’s trust in Lenzing and our biorefinery products.
“Our partnership with Lenzing, which has been based on trust and respect since the early 1990s, has always maintained a high level of quality. We are looking forward to the next step that combines quality with sustainability,” says Marco Lanzetti, owner of C.P.L. Prodotti Chimici srl. “As the first license partner for LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased, we are proud to be able to promote Lenzing as a brand to our customers, such as Oniverse, in the textile market, reduce our carbon footprint and achieve our sustainability goals,” adds Lanzetti.
“This partnership is a good example of circular economy, showing how different supply chains can work together to optimize waste and reduce the impact of their activities on the environment,” says Federico Fraboni, Head of Sustainability at Oniverse.
The biorefinery process at Lenzing makes optimal use of the renewable raw material wood, the starting material for pulp and fiber production, and converts it into valuable products such as bio-based acetic acid. LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased, which has a carbon footprint that is more than 85 percent lower than fossil-based acetic acid, is used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical and textile industries and in processes in the textile sector, such as washing, dyeing and finishing.
