In Australia, Nanollose and Grasim Industries Limited filed a joint patent application for a high tenacity lyocell fiber made from microbial cellulose that is finer than silk and stronger than conventional lyocell made from wood pulp.
Nanollose and Birla Cellulose, Grasim’s business unit focused on sustainable fibers, will now focus on taking this success to the pilot production phase to produce initial commercial quantities of fiber to enable commercial agreements with fashion brands.
The joint patent provides the companies with additional intellectual property, a superior fiber, and enhances Nanollose’s relationship with both Grasim and Birla Cellulose, according to their press release.
