Finex: Sateri's cellulosic fibre derived from textile waste.
Last updated: Aug 16, 2022
Summary
Finex stands for "Fibre Next". It was launched in June 2020 by Sateri, one of the global leaders in rayon production. Finex is produced using a mixture of pre and post-consumer textile waste mixed with PEFC-certified wood pulp from renewable plantations.
Problem
The production of rayon fiber from wood pulp is often associated with engendered forest depletion.
Solution
The use of textile waste as feedstock for the production of the cellulosic pulp can help to reduce the usage of cellulosic pulp derived from wood from engendered forests to produce rayon.
Outcome
The fiber is now certified to the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), which verifies recycled raw materials through the supply chain. RCS is intended for use with any product that contains at least 5% recycled material, and Sateri has successfully produced FinexTM viscose fibers with up to 20% recycled content.
