Lenzing fiber’s plant ecological concept
After launching a new plant ecological concept at the Texworld and Expofil exhibitions in Paris, France, Lenzing Fiber once again demonstrated Lenzing to domestic and foreign industry insiders at the 13th China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories (Autumn and Winter) Expo. Fiber plant ecology concept.
“Plant” versus “organic”
For the entire textile industry, the word “organic” is already very common. With climate warming, environmental protection issues have attracted consumers’ attention. Therefore, the range of products made of “organic” materials is very popular. As we all know, as a cellulose fiber manufacturer, Lenzing Fibers has adhered to strict environmental standards in the production process for decades. Its efforts in exploring environmentally friendly production processes are also a fact that is obvious to all. By definition, Lenzing Modal® and TENCEL® are not natural fibers. Lenzing fiber is actually made from wood. The wood is first refined into cellulose and then extracted into fiber. Therefore they cannot be called “organic”. Generally speaking, only agricultural products can be defined as “organic.” Lenzing Fiber’s new plant-based ecological concept emphasizes the natural origin of Lenzing Modal® and TENCEL®, while also reflecting the recycling mechanism of plants. Lenzing is planning a study with the Institute of Applied Botany and Pharmacology in Vienna to further investigate the phytoecological mysteries of Lenzing Modal® and TENCEL® fibers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of plants associated with Lenzing fiber properties.
Plant Ecology Concept and Lenzing Fibers
Photosynthesis – the basic principle of the Plant Ecology Concept – is Lenzing Modal® and TENCEL® fibers. Lenzing fiber is extracted from plants that convert carbon dioxide and water into pure oxygen through photosynthesis. In addition, the water management function of plants, the closed cycle process and the concept of sustainable development not only play an important role in nature, but are also integrated into the production process of Lenzing fibers.
Lenzing’s plant ecological philosophy is embodied in the raw materials used. Lenzing Modal® is made from beech trees, while TENCEL® is made from eucalyptus trees. Known as the “Mother of the Forest,” the zelkova tree can improve the soil. Beech forests grow in northern and central Europe and have become a unique and beautiful scenery in these areas. Beech forests are also important habitats for various animals. The special thing about the beech tree is that it can grow and reproduce naturally without the need for artificial irrigation.
What is special about Lenzing Modal® is the fully integrated production process. The optimized production process allows the entire process to be fully utilized. Lenzing’s own production of wood pulp ensures high fiber quality. In addition, various high-value by-products can be extracted from the production, such as acetic acid, saccharin and sodium sulfate for glass production.
Eucalyptus is used in the production of TENCEL® fiber. Eucalyptus trees grow rapidly and are grown for industrial purposes on so-called “tree farms”. It requires no artificial irrigation or genetic modification, or the use of pesticides. TENCEL® is an excellent alternative to cotton. Among all cellulose fibers, TENCEL® is the strongest and does not require the use of excessive water and land. These characteristics make it a well-deserved environmentally friendly fiber. Cotton grown on 6 square meters of land can only make one T-shirt, while TENCEL® can make ten T-shirts. On the other hand, the water consumption of producing TENCEL® (including wood pulp production) is 100 times less than that of cotton.
The latter plant ecological concept is recycling. Lenzing fiber comes from nature and returns to nature after biodegradation.
Tencel® (TENCEL®) and Lenzing Modal® (Lenzing Modal®) are derived from natural materials, and the entire production process of the fiber is integrated with the concept of plant ecology. Therefore, every product containing Lenzing fiber can bring the breath of nature to the wearer all day long.
