Viscose is a so-called cellulose regenerated fibre. For this purpose, the natural raw material cellulose, which is obtained from wood, was spun into a fibre by chemical means.
Lyocell and Modal are other cellulose regenerated fibres which are based on different and in part more environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
TENCEL is the brand name of the lyocell and modal fibres produced by Lenzing AG from Austria, which has been working for decades on manufacturing processes for regenerated cellulose fibres that are as environmentally friendly as possible. This includes the brand's viscose fibre, called LENZING ECOVERO, currently the "greenest" viscose on the market.
