Comprehensive evaluation of fibers (ISO 14040 series)
Utrecht University, The Netherlands (Prof. M. Patel, Li

Assessment of sustainability of Lenzing fibers
in comparison to cotton, polyester and polypropylene.
11 environmentally relevant factors studied
Peer studies confirm results
Result:
Environmental load of Lenzing fibers is significantly lower than
that of cotton!

Efficiency in Dyeing & Finishing
 TENCEL® is the purest cellulosic fiber with no contamination like
cotton seeds, heavy metals, waxes or sulphur therefore
 Little or no scouring is needed in knitted fabrics
 No bleaching
 No mercerising
 TENCEL® shows very high dyeing efficiency allowing exceptional
reduction of
 Dyes
 Salt
 Alkaline
 Water
 Energy usage
 Processing time
