Sustainable Development and Value Co‐Creation in International Business‐to‐Business Contexts: An Empirical Analysis in the Nonwoven Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulations and the collective influence of the value chain compel business‐to‐business (B2B) actors within the nonwoven (NW) manufacturing industry to drive sustainable development. However, the literature rarely addresses how B2B actors aim to align with sustainable development to co‐create value and what challenges they face.

Comparative evaluation of reactive dye structures on colour strength enhancement in caustic‐treated regenerated bamboo fabrics

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regenerated bamboo fibres offer a sustainable alternative to conventional cellulosic materials; however, achieving high and reproducible colour strength with reactive dyes may depend on both fibre accessibility and dye molecular architecture.

Acid Sulfite Pulping of Hemp: Effects of Processing Conditions on Lyocell Pulp Quality

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 16, Page 3364-3381, 15 August 2026.
Industrial hemp is emerging as a promising renewable source for next‐generation textile fibers. This study evaluates whether acid sulfite pulping can produce hemp‐based dissolving pulp suitable for lyocell manufacturing. While the process is historically linked to increased cellulose accessibility, it did not achieve the low lignin content and ...

Hemicellulose as a bio-based reinforcement for bamboo Lyocell fiber: A strategy for suppressing fibrillation and enhancing mechanical performance

Industrial Crops and Products
Bamboo-derived Lyocell fiber is valued for its sustainability and softness, but its susceptibility to surface fibrillation compromises durability, impairs appearance retention, and limits its applicability in high-performance textiles.

Coating of Lyocell Nonwovens by Carboxymethylated Starches for Production of Hydrogel‐Nonwoven Hygiene Tissues

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 7, July 2026.
Carboxymethylated starch (CMS) coated lyocell nonwovens were produced via a pad‐drying approach. Starch was cross linked with citric acid. Coated fabrics have a higher water retention value compared to the reference nonwoven and reduce the eluted organic compounds by gluing fibers. Though chemical use can hardly be reduced, CMS composite properties are

Modified lyocell process for producing biopolymer fiber [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
Cellulose is one of the most abundantly available biopolymer in nature. This semi crystalline cellulose cannot be melted directly to form fiber, as it degrades before melting. Hence processing of cellulosic fiber requires dissolution process. There are many solvents available for direct dissolution of cellulose to form polymer, N-Methyl Morpholine ...

From Viscose to Lyocell‐Type Fibers: Chemical Recycling of Viscose and Modal Fibers Using the Ioncell Process

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Using the Ioncell process, the recycling of low DP textile waste via four case studies, white, blue, and black viscose and white modal fibers, was investigated. The most common man‐made cellulose fiber (MMCF) is viscose, a low DP material made of plant‐based cellulose, and it accounts for less than 6% of the total amount of textile fibers.
