About the fiber
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are cellulosic viscose fibers derived from the natural raw material wood. Naturally lightweight, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers give woven and knitted fabrics a tactile softness and flowing drape.
The production processes of our fibers are continuously refined to maximize resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Consequently, carbon emissions and water consumption from LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fiber production are at least 50 percent lower compared to generic viscose fibers, according to Higg MSI.¹
Benefits
How you benefit from LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers
50 percent less water consumption
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are made with at least 50 percent less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic viscose.²
Responsible wood sources
The wood used as raw material for all LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers is sourced from certified³ or controlled wood sources.
Natural softness & drape
Naturally lightweight, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers give woven and knitted fabrics a tactile softness and flowing drape.
Tracing technology
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are produced with a molecular marker, ensuring the authenticity and traceability of our fibers even after processing into textile products.
EU Ecolabel
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are certified with the EU Ecolabel for high environmental standards throughout their life cycle.⁴
Biodegradability & compostability
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are certified for biodegradability and compostability in various environments.⁵

Technologies
Advanced technologies for LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers
REFIBRA™ technology
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers produced with REFIBRA™ technology use textile waste as a raw material, in addition to wood. The fibers contain a minimum of 20 percent recycled material.
Color technology
Fibers produced with this technology directly incorporate pigments during fiber production and, therefore, help avoid downstream and energy-intensive conventional dyeing processes.

Manufacturing process
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fiber production processes are continuously refined to maximize resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Consequently, carbon emissions and water consumption of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are at least 50 percent lower compared to generic viscose fibers.¹
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are certified with the widely recognized EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001). This label is awarded to products that have a reduced environmental impact across multiple stages of the product life cycle. Key criteria for evaluation include production processes limiting the usage of substances harmful to human health or the environment, and minimizing key environmental impacts.
