Viscose-Rayon (also referred to as “rayon”) is a well-established fibre made from cellulose predominantly derived from wood-pulp, and used to make everything from home furnishings to clothing.
However, there are significant environmental concerns surrounding production as a considerable amount of trees are cut down, chipped and then treated with hazardous chemicals followed by an energy intensive purification process to source the cellulose required for rayon production.
