Considerations

•

Still uses carbon disulfide in production, though 99%+ is recovered in the closed loop

•

Water footprint data relies on Lenzing's own reporting rather than independent third-party measurement

•

Durability is comparable to standard viscose — weaker when wet and prone to wrinkling

•

Currently produced by a single manufacturer (Lenzing), limiting supply chain diversity

Strengths

•

Generates at least 50% fewer carbon emissions than conventional viscose, verified by ISO 14040/44 LCA

•

Closed-loop production recovers 99%+ of chemicals, drastically reducing pollution and worker exposure

•

EU Ecolabel certified — the first viscose brand to achieve this standard for environmental excellence

•

Fully biodegradable and compostable in soil, freshwater, and marine environments (TUV Austria certified)

•

Wood sourced exclusively from FSC/PEFC-certified sustainable forests, preventing deforestation
