Tencel is a man-made fabric developed by innovative Austrian company Lenzing. It is manufactured from the wood and cellulose of sustainably harvested Eucalyptus trees. A tree which grows quickly without need of irrigation, pesticides, fertilizers or genetic manipulation. It can also be planted on marginal land that cannot be used for crops. The fibre yield per acre is up to 10 times higher than that of cotton and requires up to 20 times less water… All good news for mother natures precious resources.

Transforming eucalyptus wood pulp into fibre requires a chemical process – I know what you’re thinking, how can that possible be eco friendly?   …well, the revolutionary aspect of Tencel manufacturing, above other cellulose based fibres, is in the ability to recover and reuse of up to 99.8% of the solvent and remaining emissions by breaking them down in biological water treatment plants. Making the manufacture of Tencel extremely environmentally friendly.
