Modal (generic), regenerated cellulose from wood pulp
29.5
Description
Generic Modal (regenerated cellulose through cellulose xanthate -from wood pulp)-Fiber production in Asia and Pulp from different regions of the world consisting of different wood species catering to Man-made cellulose industry in the world. Wood sources: Eucalyptus, spruce, beech, birch and other hard woods (no data available for cotton linters and bamboo). Non-integrated production i.e. Pulp and fiber are manufactured in different locations or facilities. Electricity is from Chinese grid and heat is from fossil sources. Disclaimer: This generic process is based on Lenzing's know-how and understanding of industry situation with regard to the concerned fiber, but it does not represent any specific producer.
