• Birla Cellulose has unveiled Liva Reviva M, India's first mechanically recycled cellulosic fibre made with up to 50 per cent post-consumer textile waste.
• Certified by GRS and FSC, the fibre combines softness, breathability, and sustainability.
• This innovation transforms waste into value, marking a major milestone in Birla Cellulose's mission to advance circular, eco-conscious fashion.

In a landmark move that could redefine fashion’s environmental future, Birla Cellulose today announced the launch of Liva Reviva M, India’s first next-generation circular fibre made with up to 50 per cent mechanically recycled post-consumer textile waste. This breakthrough marks not just a product launch, but a bold declaration: fashion can no longer afford to be linear.

At a time when the world is drowning in discarded clothing with 92 million tonnes of textile waste generated annually and projected to grow by 45 per cent in the next five years as reported by United Nation’s Environment Programme website, Liva Reviva M arrives as a tangible, scalable, and certified solution to one of the industry’s most devastating crises.

"Liva Reviva M isn't just another sustainable fibre, it’s the future of fashion itself. We’re not talking about incremental change. We’re talking about rewiring the very DNA of how fashion is made, worn, and reborn," said Mr. Manmohan Singh, Chief Marketing Officer, Birla Cellulose.

A Circular Disruption with Global Impact

Crafted by blending premium man-made cellulosic fibres with mechanically recycled textile waste, Liva Reviva M embodies the principles of true circularity. This fibre is:

• 100 per cent plant-origin and majorly cellulosic content
• Skin-friendly and breathable
• Soft to touch with fluid drape
• Certified by GRS and FSC

And it’s not just about sustainability on paper. From premium denims to knitted wear, Liva Reviva M is already proving its versatility in real-world applications with the fashion industry’s frontrunners eager to integrate it into their collections.

Closing the Loop, At Scale

While conversations around recycling in fashion have been long overdue, Liva Reviva M offers something rare: a commercially viable and technically proven solution. It demonstrates how post-consumer fashion waste once destined for incinerators and landfills can now be reborn into high-performance garments, redefining waste as a resource.

With this launch, Birla Cellulose a global leader in cellulosic fibres and part of the Aditya Birla Group stakes its claim as an environment-first pioneer.
