TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers help to minimize environmental impact. The fibers derived from raw material wood. The fibers are certified as biodegradable, and thus can fully revert back to nature.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made from a resource-saving, closed loop production process*
*Savings consider solvent recovery
TENCEL™ Modal production process is based on a highly resource-efficient production technology with high recovery and recycling rates. According to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (Higg MSI), TENCEL™ Modal has a lower environmental impact than generic modal* in the categories of energy consumption (fossil fuels), global warming, water consumption and eutrophication.
*The results were calculated according to LCA standards (ISO 14040/44) and are made available via the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI) by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition.

TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are certified for biodegradability and compostability in various environments.* In combination with compatible blending partners, dyes and finishes, TENCEL™ fibers contribute to the biodegradability of textile products.
*LENZING™ Lyocell and Modal standard fibers are certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as biodegradable in soil, freshwater and marine environments, and compostable under home and industrial conditions.
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are certified with the widely recognized EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001). This label is awarded to products that meet high environmental standards. Key criteria for evaluation include production processes limiting the usage of substances harmful to human health or the environment, and minimizing key environmental impacts.
