Regenerated Fibres
sub-area
Regenerated fibres are man-made fibres produced from natural polymers (cellulose, protein) through chemical dissolution and regeneration processes, combining renewable raw materials with engineered fibre properties.
Role
They bridge the gap between natural and synthetic fibres, offering sustainability advantages over petrochemical synthetics while providing controllable properties superior to natural fibres in uniformity, length, and specific performance characteristics.
