How to source sustainable manmade textile fibres

This week: La Rhea Pepper, Claire Bergkamp and Megan Stoneburner from Textile Exchange discuss the potential from manmade cellulosic fibres – particularly viscose and rayon – for the apparel and textiles sector. They talk about the challenges of ensuring sustainable supply, particularly for fibres sourced from forests, and how such materials can have a key role as the sector addresses the significant challenges in transitioning to net zero.

Plus: UK farmers set to be paid £1.6bn for re-wilding and environmental sensitivity; France bans plastic wrapped fruit and vegetables; and, better news on deforestation rates in Indonesia down to palm oil sector scrutiny, says Rainforest Action Network, in the news digest.
