What is Tencel? Avoiding petroleum products

Tencel, also known as lyocell, is a revolutionary material praised for its durability and eco-friendly properties. If you are looking for high-quality, comfortable and durable sportswear, Tencel is the right choice. Here's why:

1. Environmentally friendly fibre: Tencel is manufactured from wood pulp, usually from eucalyptus or beech trees. The manufacturing process uses a closed loop, which means that more than 99% of the solvents are recycled and reused. This makes Tencel much more eco-friendly than traditional cotton fibres.

2. Biodegradable: Tencel is biodegradable, which means that at the end of its useful life, it can be broken down quickly and without damaging the environment. This reduces the impact of textile waste on our planet.

3. Softness and comfort: Tencel is silky-soft to the touch and offers excellent wearing comfort. It is breathable and absorbs moisture, keeping you cool and dry during intense padel matches.

4. Natural origin: The use of natural raw materials for Tencel fibres contributes to a healthier ecological balance. Eucalyptus and beech trees grow quickly and require little irrigation and pesticides.

5. Sustainable production: Tencel's production process needs significantly less water than cotton and requires less energy. It also has a lower impact on air quality and the greenhouse effect.

6. Longevity: Garments made from Tencel generally have a long lifespan, meaning you can enjoy your sportswear for longer before it needs to be replaced.
