About general apparel
At Lenzing, we understand the evolving need for the fashion industry to change. As manufacturers, brands and retailers navigate shifting consumer expectations, regulatory demands, and environmental challenges, the industry must rethink how materials are sourced, produced, and designed.
Our regenerated cellulosic fibers are designed to help you create knitted and woven garments that combine natural softness and style – without compromising on responsible sourcing and production. From T-shirts and blouses to leggings, chinos, and socks, our diverse fiber portfolio empowers our partners to create apparel collections that meet the industry’s changing landscape.
Benefits
How general apparel benefits from Lenzing fibers
Natural softness
Our TENCEL™ and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers give fabrics a natural softness, making them feel pleasant against the skin.
Effective moisture control
The structure of cellulosic fibers allows the absorption and release of moisture. In the final fabric, these moisture controlling properties support a drier microclimate on the skin.
Long-lasting softness
TENCEL™ Modal fibers’ cross-section and tenacity favor fabric softness, allowing them to withstand repeated washing and drying cycles.
Unfavorable to odor-causing bacteria
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers absorb sweat efficiently, resulting in reduced moisture on the fiber surface. This creates a less favorable environment for the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
