What is TENCEL™:
what is it?
The fibers originate from the renewable raw material wood, created by photosynthesis.
The manufacturing process involves an environmentally responsible production method (also referred as “closed loop system”).
The fibers are certified as compostable and biodegradable.
The circle is respected here: TENCEL™ can fully revert back to nature.

What is TENCEL™:
a cotton alternative?
TENCEL™ fibers help maintain environmental balance by being integrated into nature’s cycle.
Manufacturing Tencel also requires less energy and water than cotton.
Conclusion: a great alternative to cotton.(For those who appreciate numbers: cotton, especially when industrially farmed to satisfy global demand, uses up to 20 times more water than TENCEL™).
