A positive development for Indonesia\u2019s domestic textile sector \u2013 Those were the words of Minister of Industry Airlangga Hartarto, describing the impact of new kid on the textile block Asia Pacific Rayon (APR)<\/a>, at the 29 March 2019 APR Gala Dinner themed “Revitalising Indonesia\u2019s Textile Industry; Plantation to Fashion”.<\/p>\n

The Gala Dinner was attended by a diverse group of APR’s stakeholders – key value chain partners that include customers, associations, government, members of the media, and fashion designers. APR’s executives were on hand to share the latest developments in the industry and how viscose-rayon can alter the very fabric of global textile industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having recently started operations with an annual capacity of 240,000 tonnes, APR is one of the largest integrated viscose-rayon producers in Asia. Its integrated operations are the largest in Indonesia, and most of its dissolving pulp supply come from co-located pulp and paper producer APRIL<\/a>. APR’s viscose-rayon is manufactured from natural wood cellulosic sources and is 100% biodegradable.<\/p>\n

Making Indonesia 4.0, Made-in-Indonesia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

APR\u2019s presence as a producer of viscose-rayon fibre<\/a> that sources its dissolving pulp from internationally certified renewable plantations, strengthens Indonesia\u2019s growing textile industry. It also supports Making Indonesia 4.0<\/a>, the government\u2019s fourth industrial revolution roadmap, driven by major innovations in digital technology, biology and hardware automation.<\/p>\n

APR\u2019s grand entrance into the industry<\/a> has already marked a shift away from heavy reliance on raw material imports, towards focusing on locally produced textile raw materials, such as dissolving pulp from renewable plantations. The company also invests in technologies to ensure maximum energy efficiency; circularity in its operations, as evidenced by the use of biomass to power its production facility; and the highest performance in chemical management recovery systems, wastewater and emissions treatment \u2013 a set of inter-weaving best-in-class management practices.<\/p>\n
