The sustainability principle is not just part of the semi-synthetic industry-the ground rule for many new companies emerging within the industry. Resource efficiency and reduced use of water and energy come to the forefront in each of their operations. Some businesses are going as far as closing the loop when they will pioneer production processes while many are investing in renewable energy sources. It is in this holistic approach to sustainability that action is taking shape. Current trends will mark a great push towards responsible sourcing practices where transparency and traceability will count. Ethical supplier selection and stringent certification will be the standard procedure. Waste reduction techniques and chemical management are emerging production innovations that practically help to ensure a significant decrease in environmental impact. The design principles are changing in such a way as to lessen the carbon footprint of the industry. In terms of fiber development, recycling technologies and new models of the circular economy, advances are taking a hold and thus developing essentially more sustainable lifecycles for products. These encourage products that are durable, recyclable and biodegradable, hence firms are manufacturing products with designs that fit principles of circular economies. Directories and B2B networks connect businesses with ethical, environmentally conscious practices and connect to like-minded partners with whom they can conduct business. They help create a network of sustainable suppliers, certification bodies, and industry experts in creating a core of individuals committed to advancing the identified sustainability goals. Sustainability is a core value in the Semi-Synthetic Fibers sector-it is not merely a trend. It is thus moving through the industry to innovate and encourage responsible practice in order to create a more sustainable future for the industry and the planet.
