Next generation textile fibres

Building on AFRY's long history and solid foundations in pulp, biorefining and biochemicals, our management consultants take an active role in the sustainable development and positive change in the textile industry

Today, the textile industry faces perhaps its biggest challenge yet. As one of the most polluting industries in the world, responsible for 10% of all humanity’s carbon emissions and the second-largest consumer of the world’s water supply, the challenges may seem overwhelming. However, the textile industry has always been associated with high levels of innovation. Many solutions are emerging, most of which are focused on circular economy and the use of renewable resources.

What are the key challenges that textile innovations face? Where do the main opportunities for a more sustainable textile industry lie? How can these opportunities be captured, and by whom?

As trusted advisors for all bioindustry business participants, our management consultants support clients in identifying business opportunities across the textile value chain.

We are particularly active in:

• Assessing dissolving wood pulp markets

• Discussing renewable textile fibre needs with brand owners.

In addition, we are acknowledged experts in:
