TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are produced in a closed loop process which recovers water and 99.8% of the solvent.
The TENCEL™ Modal production process is based on a highly resource-efficient technology with high recovery rates of chemicals. 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.

What we choose to wear today has a far-reaching impact. Wearing clothes or choosing home textiles with fibers made from raw material wood is just the first step. To contribute to the environment positively and responsibly, the fibers must also be biodegradable. Only then will the burden on our landfills ease, and our soil and water bodies will have fewer synthetic microfibers. Most TENCEL™ fibers have been certified as biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil, freshwater, and marine conditions, and can fully revert to nature. When you choose clothes or home textiles with TENCEL™ fibers, you are not just enjoying the benefits of a nature-derived fiber; you are influencing a better tomorrow too.

downloadTENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are produced from wood pulp from sustainably managed sources, a renewable resource. They have earned United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) BioPreferred® designation.
Derived from nature, all standard TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fiber types have been certified by TÜV Austria Belgium NV as biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil and marine conditions, thus they can fully revert back to nature.
TENCEL™ Modal fibers are certified with the internationally recognized EU Ecolabel, an environmental quality label only awarded to products and services which have a significantly lower environmental impact throughout their entire lifecycle. Products awarded the label are independently assessed for compliance with strict ecological and performance criteria.
