What are regenerated fibers? - Regenerated fibres are produced from raw materials that form fibres naturally, for example wood pulp or cotton linter. These raw materials are reformed to produce fibres or filaments suitable for making into yarns. The first commercial regenerated synthetic fibre was rayon, also known as ‘artificial silk’, and was made from modified cellulose / wood pulp, later known as viscose. Acetate is a regenerated fibre made from cotton linters (very short cotton fibres) combined with acetic acid.
