What is Tencel

TENCEL™ is an award-winning brand that revolutionized lyocell and modal production. Lyocell and modal are types of rayon fabric – a synthesized material made from wood pulp. Rayon, sometimes called viscose, was adopted by the US fashion market in the early 1900s because of its ability to mimic the softness, drape, and luster of silk without the price point. However, conventional methods for producing rayon utilize an abundance of chemicals, water, and energy.

TENCEL™ has gained global recognition for its environmentally-friendly process. TENCEL™ Modal and Lyocell are made by sourcing wood exclusively from forests certified with good management throughout the supply chain. This wood is then transformed into fiber within systems that capture 95% or more of the solvents and water used in processing. This ensures the environment isn’t depleted of natural resources or stuck with toxic chemicals.
