Birla Cellulose partners to advance textile manufacturing

Birla Cellulose has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with LNJ Bhilwara Group and Indian textile manufacturer RSWM to explore the potential of graphene in textile applications.

Under this partnership, TACC Limited, an innovation-driven venture of LNJ Bhilwara Group, will supply Birla Cellulose with graphene-based materials. Birla Cellulose will integrate these graphene derivatives into its viscose fibre production, while RSWM will manufacture textiles using the graphene-enhanced fibres.

TACC Limited is a leader in advanced materials, specializing in synthetic graphite and graphene derivatives, with a focus on green technologies and sustainability. RSWM, a key player in yarn and fabric manufacturing, has a vast export network spanning 70 countries, supplying high-quality textile products worldwide.

Birla Cellulose, known for sustainable man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF), operates five research centres globally. Its fibres are derived from renewable wood and produced through an environmentally conscious closed-loop process that minimizes carbon emissions and conserves resources.

Through this collaboration, the companies aim to develop textiles that incorporate graphene’s unique properties, improving durability, performance, and sustainability.
