At Domotex 2020, RadiciGroup introduced Renycle, a new range of products with recyclate content. The Group also announced the acquisition of a material recovery company.

Trevira presents itself once again with its successful trade fair concept at the 2020 Heimtextil trade fair. The manufacturer of high-quality flame retardant polyester fibres will present its products at a stand measuring more than 2,000 square metres. Together with 31 of its major customers, Trevira will cover the entire textile value chain: from the fibre production and yarn manufacture, to the colouring, weaving and warp and weft knitting stages, to the textile editor.

Global economic conditions deteriorated and Trevira had to face a decline in new orders in all segments of both business units (fibres and filaments). With a total turnover of approximately 208 million Euros in 2019, this result was below expectations.

The global cellulose fibre market is one of the fastest-growing markets altogether, with an annual growth rate of almost 10%. Experts estimate that sales will exceed 50 billion dollars in 2025. The increasing demand for environmentally friendly and biodegradable fibres for textiles, hygiene products and plastic substitutes in packaging are the most important drivers for the growth. In this context, political regulations, which aim to drastically reduce the discharge of microplastics into the environment, play an important role.
