Asahi Kasei and Lenzing team up for sustainable textile innovation

Asahi Kasei, a leading stretch yarn manufacturer, and Lenzing, a specialist in cellulosic fibers, have announced a collaborative effort to develop a range of sustainable textiles driven by circular principles. This partnership aims to combine Asahi’s Roica fiber with Lenzing’s Tencel and Modal fibers to create innovative fabric blends.

The fabrics in development will leverage the unique properties of Roica, known for its stretch capabilities, alongside the sustainable characteristics of Tencel and Modal fibers produced by Lenzing.
