Kelheim Fibres receives Lighthouse Award for its viscose specialty fiber Viloft from Bavarian Environmental Cluster




KELHEIM, Germany, July 20, 2018-

The project “Bio-degradable wet toilet tissue with the viscose speciality fibre VILOFT” from the Bavarian viscose fibre manufacturer Kelheim Fibres has been awarded the Lighthouse by the Bavarian Environmental Cluster.

Moist toilet tissue made with VILOFT short cut fibres disintegrates rapidly in the sewage system as a result of the fibres’ special cross section and can therefore be conveniently disposed of via the toilet. Since VILOFT fibres consist of 100 % cellulose, such wipes are completely biodegradable and do not pose a threat to either the waste water systems or the environment. The Lighthouse award is presented annually by the Environmental Cluster of Bavaria to outstanding projects in the field of environmental technology that have already been implemented and that are commercially viable.
