Asahi Kasei and Lenzing team up for sustainable textile innovation

Asahi Kasei, a leading stretch yarn manufacturer, and Lenzing, a specialist in cellulosic fibers, have announced a collaborative effort to develop a range of sustainable textiles driven by circular principles. This partnership aims to combine Asahi’s Roica fiber with Lenzing’s Tencel and Modal fibers to create innovative fabric blends.
