Brazilian corporate apparel brand chooses Tencel

03/05/2012
Austrian fibre manufacturer Lenzing has joined forces with Brazilian corporate clothing brand Santista Workwear to launch a new range of apparel made with Tencel.

Santista said it was attracted to Tencel’s durability and comfort as well as to its environmental credentials. “Tencel is a biodegradable raw material,” the apparel brand said at a launch event in São Paulo in April. “It’s produced from certified wood from renewable sources in a process that is simpler, cleaner and with lower water consumption than cotton. Its qualities are ideal for workwear.”
