  • Mapping of Garment and Footwear Sector Ecosystem
    Enhancing the Transparency and Traceability of Sustainable Value Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector 03 April 2021 Mapping of Garment and Footwear Sector Ecosystem Summary The garment and footwear sector value chain is global and complex, relies heavily on outsourcing and is typified by a lack of transparency; however, this is slowly improving with the emergence of technology solutions and pressure from consumer groups, regulators and other stakeholders. Understanding the value chain and successfully identifying and mapping the requirements of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Policy Recommendation 46 and Traceability and Transparency Standard1, which is being developed as part of the project “Enhancing transparency and traceability of sustainable value chains in garment and footwear sector”, has required engagement, buy-in, and cooperation from many relevant actors and stakeholders within the system at both the global and national levels. There are interdependencies inherent in the system, which is why UNECE has conducted an activity to understand how all the different stakeholders engage and interact. For example, businesses gain insights from civil society groups and trade unions, which help them identify risks within their value chain; commodity traders interact with governments on commodity prices and access to the export market; brands rely on suppliers and agents to source, provide and produce their goods; governments set policies to regulate markets, imports and exports and increasingly influence how companies assess and report on their sustainability impacts. To enable this activity, a stakeholder mapping exercise was conducted to identify the various types of stakeholders and actors within the value chain and the wider ecosystem across producing and purchasing countries identified for focus.

  • Asia Pacific Rayon to Ramp up Viscose Fibre Production to Meet Market Demand
    February 22, 2021 Asia Pacific Rayon to Ramp Up Viscose Fibre Production to Meet Market Demand Jakarta, 22 February 2021 – Asia Pacific Rayon (APR) plans to increase its production capacity to 600,000 tonnes to meet the strong growth potential of viscose staple fiber (VSF) and strengthen its market position in Indonesia and export markets across the region. The additional capacity will be achieved through improved optimisation and efficiencies, and by adding 300,000-tonne viscose production facility in Pangkalan Kerinci, where APR is co- located with sister company and fiber supplier APRIL Group. The expansion will utilise APRIL’s current rayon grade AE pulp capacity from existing pulp production lines, with fiber supply sourced from APRIL’s existing responsibly managed renewable fiber plantations in compliance with internationally recognised forest certification standards and its sustainability policy and in keeping with the recently announced APRIL2030 commitments and targets. Construction of the additional APR production lines is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2021 and will include features such as a chemical recovery process upgrade, slush- pulp processing installation and other investments aimed at reducing APR’s energy use and environmental footprint. Upon the additional lines’ completion in 2023, APR will be the world’s largest single-site integrated viscose manufacturing facility, seamlessly integrating dissolving wood pulp from APRIL’s renewable fiber plantations. “As a relatively new entrant in the VSF market, APR has established a strong market presence within two years with a growing network of customers in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Turkey.

However, the primary trend is still sloping downwards. The ICE contracts settled slightly higher across the board yesterday. The ICE December contract settled at 59.00 cents per pound with a change of +27 points. The reason attributed to this minor rise was attributed to some short covering by fund houses. Usually at the end of the month, fund houses liquidate their positions to put forth better figures in their books. This therefore negated the effect brought in by the weaker US Export Sales Data and took the prices onto higher grounds. DISCLAIMER: The information in this message be privileged.
