“Lenzing manufactures products from the raw material wood in an environmentally responsible manner. Lenzing has set new standards for the entire cellulose fiber industry on the basis of sustainable process improvements and its success in largely closing chemical cycles as well as the use of state-of-the-art wastewater and exhaust air purification processes”, explains Lenzing’s Chief Executive Officer Peter Untersperger.

“I am happy that these achievements have been honored by OEKO-TEX at precisely the same time as our 75th anniversary. I believe that all our employees who have collaborated on this can be proud of this award”.

The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is an independent testing and certification system for textile raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of production (e.g. fibers, yarns, fabrics and ready-made articles including accessories). The Sustainability Award was granted in the five categories of Environmental Management, Quality Management, Social Responsibility, Safety Management and Product Innovation.
