Lenzing is a member of Cisutac. Cisutac (Circular and Sustainable Textile and Clothing) is a project co-funded by the EU that was established to support the transition to a circular and sustainable textile sector.

The aim of the consortium is to prevent, identify and eliminate barriers to the circularity of the clothing chain. Cisutac aims at removing current bottlenecks in order to enhance textile circularity in Europe. Its goal is to minimize the sector’s total environmental impact by developing sustainable, novel and inclusive large-scale European value chains.

Lenzing is reinforcing its commitment to circularity by becoming a partner with Cisutac and is focusing on the development of recycling processes for cellulose fibers in line with its own corporate strategy.As a pioneer of circularity, Lenzing is making crucial progress in this field thanks to its expertise.

Lenzing provides specialty fibers for the textile and nonwoven industries. Change is urgently required in the textile and clothing industry as it is one of the most harmful sectors to the environment, generating 40 million tonnes of waste every year.In recent years, Lenzing has set itself the target of actively promoting circularity, reducing the consumption of resources, avoiding environmental pollution and waste, increasing value creation and resource efficiency, and mitigating the negative social impact on people.
