LENZING, Austria, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VEOCEL™, the flagship specialty nonwovens brand of Lenzing Group, highlighted its commitment to innovation and providing solutions to help address the global plastic crisis at the "SEA of Solutions 2024" (SoS) event organized by SEA circular - an initiative by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Coordinating Body on the Seas of East Asia (COBSEA) on 18th September in Bangkok, Thailand.

Since 2019, SoS has been a platform for exploring solutions to address plastic pollution.
