It also supports and aligns with the global agenda of sustainability - The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

TENCEL™ Lyocell by Lenzing AG
One of the best sustainable alternatives to cotton is TENCEL™ Lyocell. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are extracted from raw material that comes from wood, a raw material that comes from controlled and certifies forests. TENCEL™ cellulose fibers are botanically of origin and produced in a unique closed loop system minimizing the environmental impact – a process that recovers water and 99.8% of the solvent from production. The water consumption in the production of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers is 46 l/kg compared to production conventional cotton, which is 994 l/kg.
The fibers have highly technical properties, efficient moisture management, and gentleness to the skin. Not only does it absorb 50% more than cotton fibers, but the moisture also evaporates quickly making you feel cooler and drier. Garments made with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers withstand their color after many industrial washes. A great advantage to maintain long-lasting color rendering. This is why we believe that TENCEL™ branded materials perfectly match our sustainability standards, all while enhancing qualitative characteristics for protection and comfort.
