Tencel/Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fiber made from wood pulp, primarily sourced from eucalyptus, beech, and spruce trees.

The production process uses a closed-loop system, meaning that over 99% of the solvents and water used in production are recycled and reused.

Non-toxic solvent (NMMO -N- Methyl morpholine N-oxide) is used to dissolve the wood pulp into a fiber without harmful emissions.

Biodegradable & Compostable: Breaks down naturally without leaving microplastic pollution.
Water-Efficient: Requires less water than cotton.
Sustainable Sourcing: Derived from FSC-certified forests, ensuring responsible deforestation.
Low Chemical Impact: Unlike synthetic fibers, Tencel/Lyocell does not release microplastics.

Common in fashion, bedding, and activewear due to its soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking properties.

Often blended with cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic fibers for added durability.

Used in denim production as a sustainable alternative to traditional cotton-based denim.
