The Lenzing Group, Austria-based leading supplier of sustainably produced specialty fibres, is attending Filo’s 56th edition, an international B2B trade show of yarns and fabrics. The company is displaying its Tencel-branded specialty fibres, dedicated to a variety of highly specialised textile applications, appreciated for its outstanding characteristics.
 
As part of the space dedicated to Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and Fashion BEST, the first Italian collective of responsible fashion designers, a selection of Tencel’s key technologies are under the spotlight: Tencel x Refibra, using cotton textile waste and wood pulp as the feedstock for cellulosic fibres, creating a circular solution; Tencel x Indigo Color, infusing pigment into fibres directly during the spinning process; Tencel Luxe, providing superior aesthetics, performance and comfort to be the perfect partner of other noble fibres such as silk, cashmere or wool; Tencel Carbon Zero, offering carbon-zero CarbonNeutral-certified products by Natural Capital Partners; and, Tencel x Eco Clean, bringing totally chlorine-free-bleached Tencel Modal fibres to the textile industry.
 
“With the understanding that a true sustainability and traceability for the industry can only be achieved when each production step is taken into account. Lenzing Group, leader in the innovation and production of wood-based cellulosic fibres, stands out among the trade show’s important protagonists embodying the concepts of environmentally-friendly processes, products and mindset,” according to the group.
 
Lenzing operates two commercial-scale biorefineries with 100 per cent wood utilisation, which ensure that the totality of wood constituents are used to produce fibres, biobased chemicals, and bioenergy, thus maximising value creation from an economic and environmental perspective. This concept will be illustrated by Carlo Covini, Lenzing business development manager Italy and Switzerland, in his presentation “Lenzing’s biorefinery concept” at Dialoghi di Confronto – Networking Area. 
 
“At the heart of the concept is the notion that renewable source material wood is used by Lenzing as universal replacement for non-renewable raw materials, such as crude oil. Therefore, Lenzing aims to utilise and commercialise all of the wood’s natural components by turning them into pulp for Lenzing fibres or other useful Lenzing solutions for various industries,” the Austrian group added.
 
“Tencel is produced in Austria in a plant near Attersee, the lake that in the past had inspired personalities like Gustav Mahler and Gustav Klimt. It is located in a characteristic landscape, with a natural environment to safeguard. For this reason, already in the Seventies Lenzing gave great attention to the resources used and the emissions produced, by implementing sustainable strategies,” Carlo Covini, Lenzing business development manager Italy and Switzerland, said in a press release. 
 
“We are honoured to present to the industry our innovative processes and solutions, as we truly believe they raise the bar of sustainability helping to make a real difference when it comes to reducing our impact on the planet,” Covini concluded.
