Tangshan Sanyou opens facility to drive circular MMCF innovation
Tangshan Sanyou's new facility includes a pilot line with the capacity to process 10 tonnes (t), which will focus on testing a solvent-based method that transforms waste cotton textiles into viscose fibres. These fibres are intended for incorporation into the company's recycled MMCF product, ReVisco. The establishment of this test facility is the latest effort by Tangshan Sanyou to embed Next Generation (Next Gen) fibre technologies into its MMCF product range. Since 2018, the company has been experimenting with various recycled textile materials to facilitate a shift towards circular, more sustainable and lower-impact fibre production. Tangshan Sanyou became the first conventional MMCF producer to integrate Circulose recycled cotton pulp at a 30% blend into its ReVisco viscose staple fibre line. The initiative also encompasses the creation of black viscose and explorations into other colour options. The company also renewed its collaboration with Circulose following changes in ownership as the partner aims to restart operations at its Swedish mill. As part of its Next Gen work, Tangshan Sanyou used 20% of Södra's OnceMore recycled cotton pulp blend into ReVisco modal and viscose fibres. It also announced plans to expand ReVisco production capacity to 200,000t annually depending on market demand, developing ReVisco lyocell from recycled textile materials and successfully producing viscose fibre using alternative raw materials such as hemp and Juncao. Based in Hebei Province, China, Tangshan Sanyou has an annual production capacity of 808,000t. Since 2016, the company has been a partner of Canopy and received a Dark Green Shirt in Canopy's 2024 Hot Button Report and is recognised as posing no known risk of sourcing from ancient or endangered forests. Canopy founder and executive director Nicole Rycroft said: 'As one of the world's largest MMCF producers, Tangshan Sanyou's investments in circularity and reducing reliance on forest-based inputs are critically important. The company has demonstrated consistent leadership since the early days of Next Gen innovation, and this new testing line is a welcome addition to the sector's broader transition to commercial-scale Next Gen MMCF for global markets.' Last month, Tangshan Sanyou Chemical Fiber forged a strategic alliance with recycled pulp producer Circulose to support the advancement and widespread adoption of Circulose while also elevating Tangshan Sanyou's global presence.

Jilin Chemical Fiber expands Jirecell, Reboocel production lines
The move is said to underscore Jilin Chemical Fiber's ongoing commitment to sustainable textile advancements in China's MMCF industry. The company will enhance the output of Jirecell, its viscose filament yarn, which is made of 70% FSC-certified wood and 30% recycled cotton Circulose pulp, targeting an annual production capacity of 10,000 tonnes (t). There is also potential to double this capacity with an additional 10,000t per year in the future. In addition, JLC is initiating commercial-scale manufacturing of Reboocel, a staple fibre produced using 70% FSC-certified bamboo and 30% post-consumer recycled bamboo sourced from discarded furniture. This product line aims for an annual production volume of 30,000t. JLC has expressed its goal to boost the recycled content in Jirecell to 50% by the year 2028. This objective aligns with broader industry efforts to diminish dependence on virgin fibre derived from forests. Since forming a partnership with Canopy in 2019, Jilin Chemical Fiber has received recognition for its environmental efforts, earning a Dark Green Shirt in the 2024 Hot Button Report for its forest sourcing practices and adoption of Next Gen Solutions. The report's findings indicate that the company poses a low risk for sourcing from ancient and endangered forests. Currently, Jilin Chemical Fiber upholds an annual production capacity of 210,000t. Canopy founder and executive director Nicole Rycroft said: "Scaling Next Gen MMCF is essential to making the viscose and filament supply chains more resilient and reducing pressure on the world's forests. "Jilin Chemical Fiber's latest Next Gen expansions are a positive signal of growing momentum within the sector. We look forward to continued progress in bringing circular, low-impact alternatives to market at the scale this moment demands." In April, Yibin Grace, a MMCF product maker and partner of Canopy, inaugurated a new recycling facility in China to transform textile waste into dissolving pulp.

This milestone adds to Tangshan Sanyou's growing investment in Next Generation (Next Gen) fibre solutions, aligning with its long-standing sustainability strategy. Since 2018, the company has integrated various textile waste streams into its fibre offerings, helping to drive industry-wide shifts toward circularity and reduced environmental impact. Key developments include: First MMCF producer to incorporate CIRCULOSE® at a 30% blend in black viscose and coloured fibre variants. Ongoing partnership with CIRCULOSE®'s new owners as their Sweden-based mill reopens. Integration of Södra's OnceMore® recycled cotton pulp at a 20% blend in viscose and modal fibres. Scalability readiness to produce 200,000 tonnes/year of ReVisco™. Expansion into ReVisco™ lyocell using recycled inputs. Trials using hemp and Juncao as feedstocks. 'With this test facility, we are deepening our commitment to circular fibre production,' said a company spokesperson. The move was also welcomed by environmental NGO Canopy. Nicole Rycroft, Canopy's Founder and Executive Director, stated: 'Tangshan Sanyou's consistent leadership in reducing forest-based inputs is significant. This new pilot facility supports the global shift toward commercial-scale Next Gen MMCF.' With a production capacity of 808,000 tonnes per year, Tangshan Sanyou has been a Canopy partner since 2016 and holds a Dark Green Shirt rating in Canopy's 2024 Hot Button Report, signalling no known risk of sourcing from Ancient or Endangered Forests.

Circ to open commercial-scale textile recycling plant in France
The $500m plant will be located in Saint-Avold in the northeastern region of France and is slated to commence operations in 2028 said Circ, adding the plant is expected to process up to 70,000 metric tonnes annually and will create job opportunities for 200 individuals. The new facility will be equipped to process large volumes of mixed-fibre textiles, such as poly-cotton blends, which constitute a significant portion of global textile waste. These materials are converted into recycled cellulose and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which serve as raw materials for future textile production. Circ employs hydrothermal technology, which is a process that decomposes polyester without harming the cotton. This allows for both materials to be recovered simultaneously and repurposed. The Circ facility in France will recycle textile waste, including complex blends that have traditionally been challenging to process, into fibres comparable to virgin quality. It will reduce dependence on forest-derived feedstocks and contribute to a reduction in the carbon footprint of the fashion industry by cutting the dependency on polyester made from fossil fuels. More than 300 million trees are harvested each year to produce textile fibre like viscose and rayon. Often these trees come from forests that are critical for climate stability and biodiversity. Canopy commended the launch as a transformative development for the fashion industry's supply chains. Canopy founder and executive director Nicole Rycroft said: "This facility will be a game-changer. For decades, fashion has been locked into a take-make-waste model — fuelling pollution, forest degradation, and climate instability. Circ's new mill flips that script: transforming worn-out clothes into new textiles, reducing reliance on both forests and fossil fuels, and proving that the future of fashion is circular, low-carbon, and here. This will be a game-changer." Earlier in January, Circ joined forces with Canopy and Fiber Club to launch Fiber Club, an initiative that aims to support companies in incorporating recycled materials into their products, marking another step towards sustainable industry practices.
