TENCEL™ fibers help maintain environmental balance by being integrated into nature´s cycle

TENCEL™ in nature’s cycle

TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers help to minimize environmental impact. The fibers originate from the renewable raw material wood, created by photosynthesis. The certified biobased fibers are manufactured using an environmentally responsible production process. The fibers are certified as compostable and biodegradable, and thus can fully revert back to nature.

production of TENCEL™ fibers

TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fiber production processes are continuously refined to maximize resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Consequently, carbon emissions and water consumption of TENCEL™ fibers are up to 50% lower compared to generic lyocell and modal fibers, according to Higg MSI*.
