Currently, viscose textiles are typically made from forest biomass, and fully recycled viscose is not available. The team’s innovative method involves converting complex cotton fibers, laden with dyes, protective agents, and contaminants, into viscose fibers – a common material found in garments like blouses, skirts, and dresses, it said on the university’s website. This approach not only addresses the environmental impact of disposing of old textiles but also reduces reliance on valuable forest resources.
