The biorefinery process at Lenzing makes optimal use of the renewable raw material wood, the starting material for pulp and fibre production, and converts it into valuable products such as bio-based acetic acid. Lenzing's Acetic Acid Biobased, which has a carbon footprint that is more than 85% lower than fossil-based acetic acid, is used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical and textile industries and in processes in the textile sector, such as washing, dyeing, and finishing.

Oniverse, which also owns the renowned fashion brand Calzedonia, will not only rely on Lenzing for its fibres in the future but will also use Lenzing's Acetic Acid Biobased for dyeing textiles. The strategic partnerships with C.P.L., the first licencing partner for Lenzing's Acetic Acid Biobased, and Oniverse underline the trust of customers in Lenzing’s biorefinery products. These collaborations are a successful example of the increasing relevance of transparency and more environmentally friendly and sustainable products in the industry. In addition, Lenzing enables improved visibility of its own products for partners and customers through co-branding, whether in the textile and nonwovens sector or in the biorefinery product portfolio.

“The collaboration with C.P.L. and Oniverse is another important step towards promoting the circular economy. Thanks to its high purity and low carbon footprint, our Lenzing Acetic Acid Biobased plays a central role in many industrial processes. This strategic alliance underlines the industry’s trust in Lenzing and our biorefinery products,” says Elisabeth Stanger, Senior Director Biorefinery & Co-Products.
