Canopy X Renewcell: First of its kind commercial scale recycled textile mill opens in Sweden Canopy 2022-11-10 | As world leaders gather at COP27 in Egypt to discuss decarbonization to stabilize the climate, the world’s first commercial-scale textile-to-textile pulp mill, Renewcell, opened today.Strong market demand has played a key role in Renewcell coming to market at scale. It is estimated that over 90 million tonnes of apparel waste accumulate in landfills every year, while over 200 million trees are logged annually for fabrics like viscose and rayon. By recycling materials destined for landfill, we can help protect the world’s forests.

Celebrating 25 years! Canopy 2024-10-09 | Let’s take a trip down memory lane! 🎉 From humble beginnings at a kitchen table to leading the charge in forest protection, Canopy has been transforming industries and saving forests for 25 years.

Then, we hit the runway, collaborating with fashion giants like Zara and Stella McCartney to protect forests through our CanopyStyle initiative. 🌱✨Now, we’re tackling paper packaging with Pack4Good, man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCFs) with CanopyStyle, and scaling Next Gen fibre alternatives to keep climate-critical forests standing. From book publishers to fashion, we’re changing the ‘take, make, waste’ model to protect the planet.

An Audacious Plan to Save the World’s Most Vital Forests Canopy 2023-04-17 | Today, a plan to save the world’s Ancient and Endangered Forests wasgiven a massive capacity boost, designed to unlock widespread transformation of the paper, packaging, and fashion viscose supply chains. Canopy, a solutions-driven non-profit that has partnered with over 900 global brands, from H&M Group and Zara, to Penguin Random House, Stella McCartney, and LVMH, will receive $60 million in funding from The Audacious Project to catalyze the commercial production of low-carbon and circular solutions across the globe. Such a move will have planetaryimpacts for the climate and biodiversity.Housed at TED, The Audacious Project is a collaborative funding initiative that drives social impact on a grand scale. Every year, they select a group of bold solutions to the world's most urgent challenges. This year, Canopy was one of the selectees for its critical work in advancing vital forest-free supply chains.Canopy will utilize the funds to accelerate the commercial-scale production of low-impact and circular clothing, paper, and packaging solutions that don’t rely on pulp from Ancient and Endangered Forests. These Next Gen Solutions are derived from what is usually landfilled (waste textile, waste food scraps), or burned (agricultural residues), to create new fabrics, paper, pulp, and packaging. Next Gen alternatives have on average 95% to 130% less GHG emissions, 88% to 100% less land use impacts, and 5x lower impact on biodiversity.Learn more at www.nextgennow.ca#Audacious #NextGenSolutions #Forests

Next Gen dress on the Cover of Cosmopolitan UK Canopy 2022-03-11 | Last year, we created a series of bespoke garments as part of our ‘Circular Chic’ campaign to showcase the game changing Next Generation Solutions available today. This year, one of the dresses made for the campaign graced the 50th anniversary edition of Cosmpolitan UK.The bespoke dress, worn by cover model Monroe Bergdorf, is made of Liva Reviva, a viscose fabric made with 30% cotton textile scraps. The cotton scraps, normally a waste product, are regenerated into pristine Next Generation fibre.Liva Reviva is just one Next Gen textile getting ready to replace viscose made from forests. Others included in Circular Chic or coming online soon are REFIBRA™, a lyocell made with 30% cotton textile scraps, and ReVisco™, which contains 50% post-consumer cotton textiles and that’s just the beginning.Currently, more than 200 million trees are logged every year to make fashion textiles like viscose and rayon, with many of these trees coming from the world’s most vital forests. Along with this issue of unsustainable sourcing, it is estimated that in just one year, landfills accumulate 92 million tonnes of textile waste globally. A growing number of producers are regenerating this waste to make Man-made Cellulosic Fibre textiles like viscose and rayon from recycled textiles such as old cotton jeans and t-shirts otherwise destined for landfills. If all Man-made Cellulosic Fibres were made with 50% Next Gen cellulose, the world would have 100 million more trees left standing every year. We look forward to seeing more fashionable, beautiful clothing made from low-carbon, circular, recycled, and innovative fabrics. Let the Next Generation start now!#circulareconomy #circularity #circularfashion
