Basics of Tencel:
Tencel is a cellulosic fiber deriving from Forest Stewardship Council approved wood pulp to define a new standard of sustainable textiles. Tencel fibers are known for their natural comfort, luxuriously soft handfeel, and environmentally responsible closed loop production process which recovers 99% of its use of solvent and water.
