Lenzing Group launched the Tencel™ Lyocellfibres with low fibrillation properties.Produced in eco-responsible closed-loop production process, these new fibersare 100 per cent biobased, and are produced of wood pulp from sustainably managed forests and an increase of up to 30 per cent of pulp made from upcycled cottonscraps collected from garment manufacturing process. In addition to having low fibrillation and moisture management properties, the fibers also feature enhanced breathability, along with silky smoothness and strength.
Like other Tencel™ Lyocellfibres with Refibra™ Technology; the fibers divert cotton scraps from entering landfills or incineration; by blending up to 30 per cent of pulp made from upcycled cotton scraps; collected from garment manufacturing process. The bio-based fibers are also produced with high resource efficiency; and low environmental impact, reusing water and solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99.5 per cent.
Moreover, with an innovative special identification technology designed to confirm fibre origin; Tencel™ Lyocell fibers with Refibra™ Technology are identifiable in yarns, fabrics and final garments. This does not only improve supply chain transparency; but also gives fashion brands a seal of confidence; that the fibers of their apparel or home textile products are sustainably sourced and produced.
