LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose in black

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are not only available in white, but also in black. They are produced in a special spin-dyeing process in which black color pigments are directly incorporated in the fibers. This can eliminate the need for additional downstream dyeing steps, resulting in up to 50% less energy and water consumption, while achieving up to a 60% reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional dyeing. Beyond that garments made with LENZING™ ECOVERO™ black fibers can be washed with a minimized risk of color loss or transfer.
