REFIBRA\u2122 technology is an innovative solution developed by Lenzing AG for producing sustainable textiles. The technology is based mainly on wood-derived cellulose fibres from responsibly managed forests and on recycled cotton scraps. The cotton scraps are turned into cotton pulp. Up to one third of this is added to the wood pulp, and the combined raw material is used to produce new TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell fibres, from which fabrics and garments are made.<\/p>\n

Advantages of REFIBRA\u2122 technology:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Use of a wood source:<\/strong> REFIBRA\u2122 fibres are made predominantly from wood from responsibly managed forests. This ensures a renewable and environmentally friendly source, reducing dependence on traditional raw materials.<\/li>\n
  2. Recycled cotton:<\/strong> One of the outstanding features of REFIBRA\u2122 is its use of recycled cotton scraps. This technology reduces the environmental impact associated with cotton production, including the use of water and pesticides.<\/li>\n
  3. Closed-loop process:<\/strong> The production of REFIBRA\u2122 fibres follows a closed-loop process in which most of the solvents and water used are recycled and reused. This significantly reduces the ecological footprint of the production process compared with traditional textile manufacturing methods.<\/li>\n
  4. Reducing the carbon footprint:<\/strong> REFIBRA\u2122 technology helps reduce the carbon footprint of textiles by using a wood source. Through photosynthesis, a tree captures and stores carbon dioxide, making it an environmentally friendly resource.<\/li>\n
  5. High-quality fibres:<\/strong> Despite its environmentally friendly focus, REFIBRA\u2122 technology makes no compromises on quality. The resulting fibres are soft and luxurious, suitable for a wide range of textile applications from clothing to home textiles. The fabric is lightweight, soft, moisture-absorbent, breathable and comfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
