Botanic
fiber by definition is relating to plants or plant life or any substance
obtained from a plant. The available botanic fiber in the Asian market is
lyocell which is a form of rayon consists of cellulose fiber made from
dissolving pulp or bleached wood pulp and reconstituted through spinnerets into
fiber. Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fiber as it is manufactured from a naturally
occurring polymer as opposed to a synthetic fiber derived from petroleum. Rayon
is manufacture from tree pulp where wood chips are converted into chemical
slurry that reconstitutes the slurry back into a fiber. Cotton is a botanic
fiber that is extracted directly from the cotton plant and undergoes very
little processing. Cotton is truly both a natural and botanical fiber. Asia natural
circular economy is inspired by nature, with the introduction of botanic fibers
in the textile market,. All the available botanic fibers production units in
Asia focus on protecting the environment and preserve the natural resources.
Manufacturers
of botanic fibers are following stringent ecological regulations by introducing
closed chemical loop production. Lyocell production is a recycling modern and
extremely environmentally compatible process. The pulp derived from botanic
cellulose is dissolved easily in a mechanical or physical process and spun into
high-quality fibers. The various processes and technologies in the manufacture
of botanic fibers in Asia are Viscose and Modal process, Lyocell process, Eco
Filament technology and REFIBRA technology.
According
to the study “Asia
Botanic Fibers Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”, wool,
silk, synthetics, cotton and linen are the various product types in Asia’s
botanic fibers industry. Hygienic products, apparels, textiles and other are the
various applications in Asia’s botanic fibers industry. Geographically, Asia’s
botanic fibers industry is spread across China, Japan, India, Korea, Saudi
Arabia and other regions. The leading players in botanic fibers industry in
Asia are Lenzing, Ihsan Sons, Kelheim Fibres, Barnhardt Manufacturing, Fiber Visions,
Tangshan Sanyou, Fulida, Hi-Tech Fiber Group, Sateri, Aoyang, Yibin Grace
Group, Bohi Industry, Xiangsheng Group and Xinxiang Bailu.
After
the end of the botanic fiber life span, the fibers decompose by biological
means back into the soil without leaving any harmful residues. These fibers are
very effective in absorbing moisture from the human body, purity of the fibers,
soft and supple. In contrast to cotton, the fibers are already equipped with
certain additional properties during the production process such as colours and
flame-resistant. Botanic fibers are subjected to strict medical and hygiene
standards which are considerable to economic advantages.
The
increasing demand for environment-friendly, absorbable, multipurpose,
decomposable, and economical fibers has led to a drastic growth in botanic
fibers market in Asia. The increasing demand for textile manufacturing in
emerging Asian economies such as India, China, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan,
Taiwan, and Indonesia account for a major share in the botanic fibers market.
Manufacturing is not only restrained for fabric but also involves production
and sale of threads, which are utilized through numerous end-use businesses.
Vietnam and Bangladesh are the possible upcoming market for botanic fiber
products. The increasing awareness and demand for botanic fibers will drive the
industry in Asia over the next few years.
