The article reports that the bacteria-based cellulose fiber, Nullarbor, has won the "Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year 2023" award at the Cellulose Fibres Conference.

The article reports that Lenzing and Renewcell have signed a multi-year supply agreement for Renewcell's 100 percent recycled textile Circulose dissolving pulp to Lenzing over five years for use in the production of cellulosic fibers for fashion and other textile applications. It mention s that the agreement will help to accelerate the transition of the textile industry from a linear to a circular business model and address textile waste challenges to offer carbon neutral fibers by 2050.

The article discusses that Several start-up companies have progressed in developing cellulosic fibres derived from textile and clothing waste for commercialization.

The article offers brief information on the BlueRidge™ Cellulosic Pellets, which is a sustainability-inspired product from Celanese Corp.

Q. Is there a limit to how often paper can be recycled? A. Some industry sources estimate that an ordinary sheet of paper made from cellulose fibers derived from wood can survive only four to six trips through the recycling process. The Environmental Protection Agencyputs the figure at five to seven times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This newspaper is printed on paper made from cellulose fibers obtained from wood pulp. The fibers are fairly large, on the order of tens of micrometers wide, and the resulting paper is fairly weak -- pull on it and it tears easily. Researchers in Sweden and Japan have developed a much stronger paper, made from much smaller fibrils of cellulose. This ''nanopaper,'' they report in the journal Biomacromolecules, has a tensile strength greater than that of cast iron. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
