Cellulose Fibre

From MoxyWiki

Cellulose fibre is produced by extraction or chemical modification of natural cellulose, primarily from wood.

Cellulose fibre is a regenerated cellulose, one of the three main groups of cellulosic polymers.

Regenerated cellulose is the largest bio-based polymer produced globally and its production consumes more than 60% of the worldwide use of chemical grade pulp.

The following table gives different observations of the price and volume of Cellulose fibre.
