TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are cellulose fibers which are derived from sustainable wood sources, harvested from certified and controlled sources following the stringent guidelines of the Lenzing Wood and Pulp Policy. One key characteristic of cellulose is its biodegradability. This means that, at the end of its life cycle, the fibres once again become part of the ecosystem. They form the soil in which new plants grow.
GOOD TO KNOW:
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have gained a commendable reputation for their environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibers with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact. This solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.

TENCEL™ Lyocell cellulose fibers absorb moisture more efficiently than cotton. This supports the body’s natural thermal regulating mechanism. In addition to this, they are gentle against the skin and are able to withstand substantial stresses. TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.
