'Viscose Voyages' - uncovering Lenzing's plans in Indonesia
Episode description
Earlier this summer host Phil Berman sat down with Carolina Ledl, Lenzing’s head of product and application management, to discuss the company's ambitious plans to start producing its Ecovero-branded viscose in its manufacturing plant in Indonesia.
Lenzing first launched its ‘EcoVero’ branded viscose in 2017, in response to growing a demand for more transparent viscose fibres. And with the expansion of its dope-dyed ‘Black’ version now imminent, Carolina explains what the company’s €100m expansion plans in South Asia will mean for sourcing both raw materials and reducing energy consumption in this regional manufacturing facility.
She also talks about why the Indonesian plant will shortly start producing ‘Ecovero Black’ and reveals how it uses less water, electricity, and heat than other conventional viscose dyeing processes.
