CTF stands for Challenge the Fabric and aims at opening the dialogue about viscose as alternative to natural and synthetic fibers, and in the long run contributing to a more sustainable fabric process for viscose, and to connect the supply chain of fibre based textiles. 

CTF also aims at improving and enhancing the perception and to impact towards a tracable and sustainable production.

In the past 15 years the global fashion consumption has doubled, and it is expected to keep growing. As a result, the industry’s demand for cotton exceeding the supply in recent years. The exploration of alternatives to fill the fiber gap is urgently needed. Biomaterials, circularity and transparency are key components to sustain the future of fashion lastingly. Viscose has the potential to be a solution.

What creative and systematic opportunities does viscose offer to the fashion industry? What challenges have to be faced? And how can viscose contribute to making the fashion industry more sustainable?
