Birla Cellulose announced the launch of its new sustainable fibre, Livaeco Lyocell, at its flagship event Confluence 2026 held in Coimbatore. Livaeco Lyocell reflects the company’s focus on combining sustainability with advanced fibre technology. The fibre is produced using a closed-loop solvent spinning process that allows up to 99.7% solvent recovery. It is made from 100% FSC-certified wood pulp, ensuring that the raw material is sourced responsibly from well-managed forests.

Designed for both performance and sustainability, the fibre offers a combination of strength, smooth texture, and effective moisture management. It is known for its high durability, good shape retention, and soft, skin-friendly feel, making it suitable for a wide range of textile uses.

Vadiraj Kulkarni, Business Head at Birla Cellulose, stated that Livaeco™ Lyocell marks an important step in the company’s innovation journey. He explained that the fibre has been developed to meet the growing demand for both sustainability and performance, and is expected to create new opportunities across the textile value chain.

The fibre is supported by GreenTrack, a blockchain-based system developed by Birla Cellulose. This platform enables complete tracking of the fibre from forest to final product. It uses digital mapping and embedded tracer technology to help verify the authenticity of the material at every stage and prevent misuse or duplication.
