Understanding CPRO: The Sustainable Fabric Alternative

CPRO, or cuprammonium rayon, is increasingly gaining attention in the textile industry as a regenerated cellulosic fiber derived from cotton linter. This article explores what CPRO is, its sustainability credentials, and the significance of its manufacturing process.

What is CPRO?

CPRO is a fiber that belongs to the rayon family but is uniquely made from wasted cotton linter, which are the short fibers surrounding cotton seeds. The name itself is an abbreviation of “cuprammonium rayon,” referring to the solution of copper and ammonia utilized in its production. This fiber is derived from what would otherwise be a discarded byproduct of the cotton industry, showcasing a novel approach to resource utilization.
