The Indian government has revoked the Quality Control Order (QCO) for VSF, aiming to address raw material accessibility and promote industry growth, making the fiber more accessible and reducing regulatory hurdles.
AboutVSF
A natural, biodegradable, and man-made fiber derived primarily from cellulose sources such as wood pulp and cotton linters.
Chemically resembles cotton but is man-made and can be engineered for different properties.
Provides excellent color retention, lightweight feel, and high moisture absorbency.
Versatile in texture and can be blended with natural and synthetic fibers.
Applications:
Extensively used in fashion and apparel industries.
Used for home textiles, dress materials, knitted wear, and non-woven products.
Blending with other fibers enhances textile quality and versatility.
Environmental Aspects
Despite its benefits, the production of VSF is energy-intensive and involves processes that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
The fiber is produced from wood pulp sourced primarily through deforestation, which poses ecological concerns.
