Lenzing Group is among the trade show Filo’s important protagonists embodying the concepts of environmentally-friendly processes, products and mindset. Its TencelL™-branded specialty fibers have been long appreciated for their outstanding characteristics – softness, smoothness, luxurious shine and flow.
As part of the space dedicated to Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and Fashion B.E.S.T., the first Italian collective of responsible fashion designers, a selection of Tencel™’s key technologies will be under the spotlight at the trade fair
Tencel™ x Refibra™, using cotton textile waste and wood pulp as the feedstock for cellulosic fibers, creating a circular solution
Tencel™ x Indigo Color, infusing pigment into fibers directly during the spinning process; - Tencel™ Luxe, providing superior aesthetics, performance and comfort to be the perfect partner of other noble fibers such as silk, cashmere or wool
Tencel™ Carbon Zero, offering carbon-zero CarbonNeutral®-certified products by Natural Capital Partners; - Tencel™ x Eco Clean, bringing totally chlorine-free-bleached TENCEL™ Modal fibers to the textile industry.
An Austrian-based company that has focused on fibers for more than 80 years, Lenzing has been producing fibers for many sectors in a sustainable way. Each Lenzing product is made of cellulose from wood, a renewable natural resource, coming only from certified sustainable sources. An important characteristic of cellulose is its biodegradability and compostability: at the end of their life cycle, cellulosic fibers can re-enter the ecosystem and create a closed loop. Lenzing’s production process itself mirrors the circular concept of nature: water and chemicals are re-used over and over, re-circulated within the system.
The Lenzing Group operates two commercial-scale biorefineries with 100% wood utilization, which ensure that the totality of wood constituents are used to produce fibers, biobased chemicals, and bioenergy, thus maximizing value creation from an economic and environmental perspective. This concept is illustrated by Carlo Covini, Lenzing Business Development Manager Italy & Switzerland, in his presentation “Lenzing’s biorefinery concept” on September 30 at 3 pm at Dialoghi di Confronto – Networking Area. At the heart of the concept is the notion that renewable source material wood is used by Lenzing as universal replacement for non-renewable raw materials, such as crude oil. Therefore, Lenzing aims to utilize and commercialize all of the wood’s natural components by turning them into pulp for Lenzing fibers or other useful Lenzing solutions for various industries.
