What is TENCEL™ Lyocell? Avoiding petroleum products

Tencel, also known as lyocell, is a revolutionary material praised for its durability and eco-friendly properties

Why TENCEL™ Lyocell Is the Future of Sustainable Performance Clothing

When it comes to activewear, comfort and durability are essential. But what if your workout gear could also be eco-friendly? Enter Tencel™ (Lyocell) – a next-generation fabric that combines high performance with sustainability.

1. Eco-friendly fibre

Made from sustainably sourced wood pulp (mainly eucalyptus and beech), Tencel is produced in a closed-loop process where over 99% of solvents are recycled—far more planet-friendly than traditional cotton.

2. 100% biodegradable

Unlike synthetic fibres, Tencel naturally decomposes at the end of its lifecycle, reducing textile waste and environmental impact.

3. Superior comfort & breathability

Silky-soft on skin, Tencel wicks moisture and keeps you cool and dry, even during intense workouts or light exercises.

4. Natural and sustainable origin

Eucalyptus and beech trees grow quickly, need minimal irrigation, and thrive without pesticides—making Tencel a truly green choice.

5. Lower-impact production

Tencel requires significantly less water and energy than cotton while lowering emissions and supporting cleaner air quality.

6. Built to last

Tencel garments offer excellent durability, so you enjoy your sportswear longer without compromising style or performance.

In short

Tencel sportswear is sustainable, breathable, and long-lasting—the perfect choice for athletes and conscious consumers who refuse to compromise on comfort or the planet.
