To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Lenzing launched carbon-zero Tencel™ branded fibers. For this launch Lenzing first lowered the carbon footprint by 65 to 80 per cent compared to conventional lyocell and modal fibers. What cannot be eliminated is offset to reach net zero.

The company hosted a webinar on September 22 during Climate Week NYC. During the launch, moderator Kerry Bannigan from SDG Media Zone pointed to a United Nations projection focused towards Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action tht could bring an economic boost of $26 trillion globally. She appreciated Lenzing for its leadership and collaboration to achieve the global goals, and particularly its investments in reducing CO2 emissions.
