Introduction: What’s in Your Shirt?

Ever bought a "sustainable" t-shirt and wondered what made it eco-friendly? 🌱
Materials matter—and when it comes to planet-positive fashion, one name keeps popping up: Lenzing. From silky-soft fabrics to bold eco-innovation, this Austrian company is shaping the future of ethical style. But what exactly is Lenzing, and why should you care?

Let’s break it down.

1: What Is Lenzing?

Lenzing is a world-renowned Austrian textile innovator that produces plant-based fibers derived from sustainably sourced wood. Its most famous fibers include:

• TENCEL™ (Lyocell & Modal)
• LENZING™ ECOVERO™ (Sustainable viscose)
• VEOCEL™ (Used in nonwoven applications)

These fibers are made from wood pulp sourced mainly from FSC® or PEFC™ certified forests. Unlike conventional viscose or polyester, Lenzing’s fibers are biodegradable and produced using environmentally responsible processes like closed-loop systems that reuse water and solvents.

💡 Why It’s Sustainable:
Lenzing’s fibers use up to 50% less water, emit fewer greenhouse gases, and are certified biodegradable. Their production has a significantly lower impact on the planet compared to traditional materials like cotton or synthetic fabrics.

2: Why It Matters to Ecomarket

At Ecomarket, we’re serious about sustainable fashion—and Lenzing fits perfectly into our vision of clean, ethical, and vegan clothing.

Here’s how we align:

• 🧵 Certified Supply Chain: Ecomarket partners only with brands that use Lenzing™ certified fibers, ensuring transparency and third-party eco-verification.
