Lenzing ECOVERO™ is a sustainable variant of viscose, developed by the Austrian company Lenzing AG. It has the lightness, sheen, and comfortable wearability of viscose but with significantly less environmental impact during production.
Viscose is a semi-natural fiber: it is made from natural wood fibers but processed into a wearable fabric through a chemical process.
Lenzing ECOVERO™ viscose is made from local trees, reducing CO2 emissions. The wood comes from controlled forests and is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified. This means enough trees are replanted, and the wood comes entirely from responsibly managed forests. The chemicals used are recycled, and 50% less water and energy are required compared to the production of traditional viscose.
**Tests have been conducted on standard LENZING™ Viscose fibers, the latest of which were certified by TÜV AUSTRIA.
Lenzing AG, the producer of ECOVERO™, is based in Austria. This is a strategic location due to its proximity to European forests, reducing CO2 emissions through shorter transport routes. Moreover, Austrian production standards ensure high quality and compliance with environmental regulations.
Clothing made from Lenzing ECOVERO™ is lightweight, comfortable, silky soft, breathable, and slightly glossy. It is similar to sustainable materials like Tencel and Lyocell, but with one significant advantage: ECOVERO™ has notably better color retention than Tencel/Lyocell, ensuring that garments stay beautiful for longer.
With these simple tips, your Lenzing ECOVERO™ clothing will stay beautiful longer and retain its comfortable fit.
