Regenerated cellulose fibres Industrial production of the viscose fibres started in the early 1900s. The first 30 years included process development, IPR protection, business arrangements and price agreements between the players. After the expiry of the first patents in the 1930s the production volumes began to increase rapidly, reaching 3.9 million tons in 1973. During
