We chose to develop our HannaSoft™ fabric with TENCEL™ Lyocell fiber because it is a more sustainable choice than bamboo viscose. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are certified with the EU Ecolabel for environmental excellence.*
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests. The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource.
TENCEL™ Lyocell is known for its innovative closed loop production process. Wood pulp is transformed into cellulosic fibers, while more than 99.8% of the solvent are recovered and fed back into the loop, resulting in close-to-zero wastage.
For its highly responsible sourcing practices helping to protect ancient and endangered forests, Lenzing has been recognized as one of the best performing companies worldwide in Canopy’s Hot Button Report in 2023.
