See how catalyzing 60,000,000 tonnes of NEXT GEN alternatives reduces GHG emissions, diverts waste, creates jobs, and keeps vital forests out of paper, packaging, and textiles
Saving climate-critical forests by scaling low impact NEXT GEN alternatives - made from waste textiles and agricultural residues. NEXT GEN fibres have 95% to 130% less GHG emissions, 88% to 100% less land-use impacts and 5x lower impact on biodiversity and threatened species.
Canopy will catalyze an acceleration of NEXT GEN production to secure tangible benefits for people and the planet.
Canopy works with brands, producers, and the world’s savviest innovators to transform unsustainable forest-based paper, packaging, and textile supply chains by strengthening demand, scaling NEXT GEN production, and supporting forest protection.
Here are two examples of the positive, sustainable changes we’ve already catalyzed.
Renewcell has built the world’s first commercial scale NEXT GEN dissolving pulp mill for textiles. It uses millions of old jeans and t-shirts rather than forests to produce pulp for rayon and lyocell textiles.
Renewcell is at the forefront of fashion’s circular economy. They are already expanding production capacity with plans to construct more mills.
Nafici Group has built a commercial scale NEXT GEN EcoPulping plant in China making unbleached pulp for packaging from wheat straw and reeds rather than vital forests.
Their biochemical process enhances paper strength allowing for thinner walled boxes. This reduces the amount of paper needed and reduces GHG emissions.
Nafici is planning to build more NEXT GEN mills in Europe and China.
