#CleanTextile #Algaeing #AlgaePoweredFibre #BirlaCellulose“This developmental collaboration with Algaeing aligns well with Birla Cellulose’s focus on offering more sustainable fibres to consumers. We are keen to develop and scale this innovative new cellulosic fibre in collaboration with Algaeing.” - Dr. Aspi Patel, CTO of the Aditya Birla Group and Birla Cellulose
December 2023 : In a move towards sustainable textile manufacturing, Algaeing, a front-runner in clean textile innovation, has teamed up with the global leader in man-made cellulosic fibres, Birla Cellulose. The parties have signed an agreement to develop and introduce a unique, algae-powered cellulosic fibre that is environmentally friendly and offers multiple benefits to the end-user.
Commenting on this collaboration, Dr. Aspi Patel, the Chief Technology Officer of the Aditya Birla Group and Birla Cellulose, said: “This developmental collaboration with Algaeing aligns well with Birla Cellulose’s focus on offering more sustainable fibres to consumers. We are keen to develop and scale this innovative new cellulosic fibre in collaboration with Algaeing.”
Harnessing the vibrancy of nature, this unique fibre redefines the textile manufacturing process. Infused with algae’s rich and varied hues, it offers a palette of naturally occurring colours, eliminating the need for traditional dyeing processes.
This innovation aims to bring a variety of dyeless garments to the market while significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with conventional dyeing processes. By streamlining production and embracing the inherent beauty of algae, we present an innovative solution that is both visually appealing and ecologically responsible.
The fibre offers additional advantages, such as toxin-free production and enhanced first-of-its-kind user benefits stemming from the rich nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and botanical properties inherent in the algae added to the fibre.
Renana Krebs, Co-founder and CEO, Algaeing, said “Our collaboration with Birla Cellulose marks a significant milestone in our joint mission to detoxify the textile industry and promote sustainable innovation. Joining hands with a global leader like Birla Cellulose amplifies our impact, allowing us to bring affordable, superior products to consumers and branch into new industries. Together, we are carving a path for a brighter future, where fashion and sustainability seamlessly converge.”
