Lenzing’s Veocel™ brand has introduced the industry’s first carbon neutral Veocel™ branded fibers to support nonwoven industry partners and product brands in reducing climate impact through the use of fibers with a net-zero footprint. Robert van de Kerkhof, Board Member, Lenzing, says, the new carbon neutral Veocel™ Lyocell fibers will play a big role in contributing to Lenzing’s goal to become a net-zero company by 2050. These fibers are certified as CarbonNeutral® products with a carbon footprint reduced to net-zero according to The CarbonNeutral Protocol.

Achieving certified carbon neutrality was the result of Lenzing’s ambitious carbon reduction efforts over the last years and the collaboration with Natural Capital Partners, a recognized global leader in the design, development and delivery of corporate climate action programs. These Veocel™ branded fibers reinforce Lenzing’s commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative around reduction of total global carbon emissions, a quest driven by the UN Paris Agreement.
