Birla Cellulose innovates OE yarn with Excel fiber, redefining sustainability.
Birla Cellulose, a pioneer in sustainable textile solutions, is revolutionizing the potential of Open End (OE) yarn with its innovative Excel fiber. This breakthrough integrates the superior properties of Excel, such as enhanced strength and whiteness, into the structure of OE yarn, marking a significant advancement for the textile industry.
Excel, a lyocell fiber, has emerged a game-changer due to its compatibility with mechanically recycled cotton. By addressing common limitations associated with recycled fibers—such as inconsistent length and strength—Excel ensures uniformity in yarn production. This results in yarn blends that not only boast superior strength and softness but also exhibit vibrant color retention and enhanced fabric luster.
The introduction of Birla Excel into mechanically recycled yarn spinning processes has garnered widespread interest among OE mills. Many mills are now blending Excel fiber with recycled cotton and other soft wastes to create yarns that meet a spectrum of industry needs. These specialized blends are available in a range of counts, from 6s to 34s, catering to applications spanning bed linens, shirting, towels, trousers, and knits.
Birla Cellulose’s strategic approach extends beyond product innovation. With a robust presence across India, the company is forging partnerships across the value chain. The aim is to promote Excel-based products to a broader market, underscoring Birla Cellulose's commitment to advancing sustainable practices within the textile sector. The integration of Excel fiber into OE yarn not only reduces dependence on virgin cotton but also enhances waste utilization, aligning with global sustainability goals. This initiative not only addresses current industry challenges but also sets a precedent for future innovations in sustainable textile manufacturing.
As Birla Cellulose continues to expand its reach and influence in the textile market, the adoption of Excel fiber in OE yarns signifies a pivotal step towards achieving a more sustainable and resilient textile industry.
