By reducing carbon emissions and using renewable energy during production, TENCEL™ goes beyond carbon offsetting to lower its carbon footprint, offering carbon-zero products certified as CarbonNeutral® products by Natural Capital Partners.
Starting with our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative, our steps support actions against global warming in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
TENCEL™ is on a journey to True Carbon Zero, contributing to a carbon neutral textile industry. With a vision to have net-zero emissions by 2050, our three-step plan is already in action: reduce, engage and offset. The resulting carbon-zero TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are certified as CarbonNeutral® products by Natural Capital Partners.
Our priority is the continuous reduction of carbon emissions through more efficient production methods, using renewable energy sources and embracing new technologies.
Being the first cellulosic fiber producer to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative, we engage and steer our industry to source materials with low carbon footprints and reduce overall carbon emissions.
We offset unavoidable carbon emissions by supporting verified global carbon reduction projects.
We have our sights set on net-zero emissions by 2050, so we prioritize the continuous reduction of carbon emissions through efficient production, new technologies and renewable energy sources to meet targets set through the Science Based Targets initiative. The resulting carbon-zero TENCEL™ fibers:
are certified to reduce climate impact by various global standards of sustainability.
*Reduction of specific CO₂ emissions for products sold (pulp and fiber) by 50% until 2030 compared to baseline 2017.
As the first cellulosic fiber producer committed to the Science Based Targets initiative, we are leaders steering our industry to change by normalizing data transparency and working exclusively with brands that echo our values – implementing carbon neutral practices from cradle to cradle. Our pioneering partnership with TextileGenesis™ ensures digital traceability of TENCEL™ fibers and unmatched transparency from fiber to finished garment.
Until we reduce carbon emissions across our full footprint, we take responsibility for carbon emissions that are not yet avoidable through verified climate protection projects. These global carbon compensation projects are an immediate response to ensure that an equivalent amount of carbon is absorbed or avoided elsewhere.
TENCEL™ is supporting verified climate protection projects specifically in communities impacted by the textile industry. These projects are focused on helping ill-prepared communities become more climate-resilient and on introducing new sources of renewable energy, including:
Within the context of True Carbon Zero, we extend our fiber portfolio to new levels of sustainability with carbon-zero TENCEL™ fibers. We focus on three advantages where these fibers have the greatest distinction.
By choosing carbon-zero TENCEL™ fibers, you contribute to reducing climate impact.
Carbon-zero TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers have a certified* carbon neutral footprint supporting actions against global warming in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals**. Carbon-zero TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers have been developed based on three pillars:
Acting on Lenzing’s commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative*** and supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals, carbon-zero TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are certified as CarbonNeutral® products according to The CarbonNeutral Protocol by Natural Capital Partners****.
Carbon-zero TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are set to pursue continuous environmental improvement. Your eco-conscious decisions contribute to a carbon neutral movement.
