Our Eco-friendly material
Tencel is a natural fibre made from wood pulp – usually from eucalyptus, beech, birch and spruce trees. The fibres are formed by pushing the solution through an extruder. Then they can be used to create garments.
Tencel uses chemicals that are less toxic and these are recycled during the production process so there’s minimal waste. For the most part, Tencel also uses wood from trees in sustainably-harvested forests. Generally fibres from natural sources are better for the planet!
Tencel is a great choice for anyone seeking long-lasting garments that retain strength and softness while being earth-friendly.
From forest to fashion and beyond
The production process starts in forests using wood as raw material. The TENCEL bio-based fibers are produced through an environmentally responsible production process, which follows the steps below:
Forest —> Wood Chips —> Pulp mills —>Tencel Lyoncel Fiber —> Yarn —> Fabrics.
The TENCEL production process is a closed-loop process with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact. The transformation of pulp mills into TENCEL Lyoncel fiber involves solvent-spinning method which recycles water and reuses the solvent itself at a recovery rate of 99%. Moreover the final product is perfectly compostable and biodegradable fibers. Consumers can be sure about their fashion choice, which reduces or mitigates their adverse impact on the environment.
