TENCEL^TM branded Lyocell fibers bring circular economy into home textiles

Many more customers want to make sustainable purchase choices. TENCEL^TM Lyocell fibers with REFIBRA^TM technology offer a good solution to that. REFIBRA^TM technology is a true sustainability choice. Products made out of TENCEL^TM Lyocell fibers with REFIBRA^TM technology unite two innovations: the eco-friendly, closed loop production process of TENCEL^TM Lyocell fibers and the upcycling of a substantial proportion of cotton scraps. Combining wood pulp with pulp made from left over cotton scraps from cutting operations, new virgin TENCEL^TM Lyocell fibers are produced to make yarns and fabrics for Home textiles. These innovative fibers mark an important step in Lenzing’s journey towards circular economy.

Even after going through a long supply chain, TENCEL^TM Lyocell fibers can still be identified in the final product. This supports transparency in the overall processing chain.
