Lenzing has partnered WTS to create a range of knits made with Tencel Refibra technology. Among the pieces are jersey T-shirts for women made from Pima cotton, Tencel Modal, Spandex and 29 per cent Tencel Refibra lyocell as well as men’s tees created from 20 per cent Tencel Refibra lyocell and pima cotton. The collection includes dresses, tanks, henleys and polos, all with a varying amount of Tencel Refribra lyocell blended with premium and performance fibers.
Tencel Refibra lyocell, a manmade cellulosic fiber, utilizes post-industrial cotton scraps from garment production and wood pulp, moving the industry one step closer to achieving a circular economy. Tencel Refibra lyocell offers the best of both worlds—the performance consumers are looking for without the damaging impact to the environment.
WTS is a full-package manufacturer based in Peru. The manufacturer chose to partner with Lenzing because the company recognizes the need for sustainability and Lenzing’s ongoing commitment in this area provides unmatched credibility.
The two companies have collaborated in the past and share a similar vision. WTS has a long history and understanding of working with Tencel lyocell fibers. Lenzing needed a partner that had the understanding of Tencel lyocell and the vision and sustainability goals to elevate Lenzing’s product offering and WTS was seen as the perfect partner to bring this value to the knits market.
