“At Birla Cellulose, sustainability is a continuous journey towards the wellbeing of all stakeholders and conserving nature. With the launch of Livaeco, we endeavor to systematically engage with the textile value chain and offer consumers fashionable clothing that is eco-friendly,” said Dilip Gaur, managing director, Grasim Industries Ltd, tells fibre2fashion.

Fashion designers Anju Modi, Wendel Rodricks and Gaurav Jai Gupta used the Livaeco fabric in a woodland-themed fashion show at the product’s launch.
