Material

55% ECOVERO™ Viscose 45% Naia Acetate

This woven crepe fabric has a textured surface, with the viscose fibres providing breathability and a silk-like drape. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibres are derived from sustainable wood and pulp, coming from certified and controlled sources.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres have been certified with the EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001) as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal. The manufacturing of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generates up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose. According to Higg's life cycle impact assessment data, CO2 emissions and fossil resource use are approximately half that of the industry average.

A special manufacturing system enables LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres to be identified in the final product, even after long textile processing and conversion steps through the value chain.

Naia™ cellulosic fibre is responsibly sourced from sustainably managed forests and produced in a closed-loop process in the United States. We choose to use this fibre because of Naia's™ approach to sustainably managed resources; high safety, social, and environmental standards; and a low environmental impact.
