Modest fashion expenses reached USD 270 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow by 5% annually to reach approximately USD 371 billion by 2023, according to Thomson Reuters and Dinar Standard, in State of the Global Islamic Economy Report 2018-2019. While Textile Exchange reported that world textile fiber production is dominated by non-biodegradable fossil fibers, that is polyester. To this situation, viscose rayon (one of Man-Made Cellulose Fibers (MMCF)) come up as one of preferred fiber and material for textile. It is biodegradable because it primarily produced from wood. However, the nature of processing steps involve significant amount of chemicals and utilities, start from wood sources until dissolving wood pulp as raw material to viscose rayon and yarn production, which is also high risk to environment. It is important to study on the sustainability practices to integrate economic, social and environment aspects. This research is having two (2) groups of objects, they are: viscose rayon and yarn integrated producers and their customers. Primary source of the data are field observations and structural interview. In addition, this research is supported by second resources of data, such as: books, reports/records, credible websites, etc. Then, content analysis is used to analyse those data. Keywords: Sustainable practices, viscose rayon and yarn, textiles, content analysis.

Objective – Modest fashion growth rapidly while it was reported that world textile fibre production is dominated by non-biodegradable fossil fibres (e.g.: polyester). In this situation, viscose rayon presents as an alternative to substitute non-biodegradable textile fibres, because it primarily produced from wood, having natural characteristic, and biodegradable. In contrast, the nature of viscose rayon manufacturing steps involves significant amount of chemicals and utilities, which is also high risk to environment. This qualitative research aims to examine the sustainability practices in first largest viscose rayon and yarn producers in Indonesia as well as their customers response and find out the organization’s contribution to green textile manufacturing. Methodology – content analysis Findings –This study found that the producers implement the sustainability practices in the field of textile, apparel and fashion industry. Positive response from their customers also found toward the implementation of sustainability practices, including green purchase intention. Novelty – Some implication found for first largest integrated viscose rayon and yarn producers in Indonesia in order to enhance their strategy and contributed to sustainable textile practices globally. Furthermore, some recommendations are given to relevant party to support viscose rayon and yarn sustainable practices while at the same time contribute to ISO 26000 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
