OnceMore
OnceMore pulp, currently composed of 20% recycled textile waste and 80% renewable wood in a process developed by Södra of Sweden, is now being converted into Modal fiber by China’s Tangshan Sanyou.
Modal fibers, produced through a modified viscose process, yield stronger and more durable fibers than traditional viscose. These fibers enable the production of breathable, soft fabrics that are also quick-drying and long-lasting.
Södra’s long-term goal is to offer a pulp composed of 50% wood and 50% recycled textile waste, continuing its commitment to sustainable innovation in the textile industry.
Södra is also partnering with Finnish municipal waste management company LSJH, which is pioneering a solution to turn post-consumer textile waste collected from households into new feedstock.
