Can made-made fibres unravel the textile industry’s sustainability puzzle?

Man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF) - such as Viscose/Rayon, Lyocell, Modal and Cupro - form the second biggest cellulosic fibre group after cotton and have the potential to tackle some of the apparel and broader textile industry’s most significant sustainability challenges. 

Developed by Forum for the Future with Textile Exchange, MMCF 2030 is an ambitious shared Vision for unleashing the fibres’ untapped potential for transforming the textiles industry by building socio-economic resilience and regenerating our social and natural systems.
