The crazy life of fabric

Look at the shirt you're wearing; do you know the travels it's been through? Thanks to Birla Cellulose, we now have a better idea!
On Tuesday, after hosting us overnight in their guest house, Birla Cellulose provided us with an amazing tour of their facilities: fabric making behind-the-scenes. Seeing their sign "Birla Cellulose" I wasn't sure if I should expect something really scientific or burlap or what! Actually, Birla cellulose has an intense start-to-finish process of creating Viscose, Modal, & Excel from wood, wood pulp to be more precise. This means that all of their fabric is totally eco-friendly, beating most other sustainable fabrics by a long stride.
We had the chance to tour the entire plant, seeing the planks of hard wood pulp turned into smaller chunks, going through really scientific processes (you would probably laugh if we tried explaining any of those in depth; that's what we have Rajiv for!) and coming out strands of fibers! Wow! And the next part was just as outstanding where it was turned into material.
We are running low on time right now; must get out to explore New Delhi, so you will just have to wait in anticipation to hear what else Birla offered! - Haley
