Advantages of Lyocell
Environmental Benefits
When you choose lyocell fabric, you make a positive impact on the environment. Lyocell stands out for its eco-friendly production and biodegradability. The process uses wood pulp from sustainably managed forests, which helps minimize environmental impact.
Unlike cotton or polyester, lyocell production uses much less water and energy. The closed-loop system recycles almost all solvents, so very little waste ends up in the environment.
Here’s a quick look at how lyocell compares to other fabrics:
Fabric Type | Water Usage | Chemical Usage | Process Type |
|---|---|---|---|
Lyocell | 20% less than cotton | 99.5% solvent recycled | Closed-loop |
Cotton | High | High (pesticides) | Open-loop |
Polyester | High | High (petroleum-based) | Open-loop |
You also help the planet because Lyocell is fully biodegradable. When you’re done with your lyocell pajamas or underwear, they break down naturally and don’t pollute the environment.
Friendtex takes this even further by using certified sustainable materials and following strict, environmentally friendly standards. You can feel good knowing your choices support a cleaner world.

What Is Lyocell Fabric?
Definition
If you’re curious about lyocell fabric, you’re not alone. This sustainable textile material has become a favorite for eco-conscious brands and shoppers. Lyocell is a 100% cellulose fiber made from wood pulp, usually sourced from eucalyptus, beech, or spruce trees.
You get a fabric that feels soft, smooth, and gentle on your skin. People often choose lyocell because it blends comfort with responsibility.
To make lyocell, polymers derived from wood pulp are dissolved, spun, washed, and dried. This solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.
Lyocell fabric first appeared in the 1970s as a response to concerns about rayon’s environmental impact. Over the years, it has grown in popularity thanks to its eco-friendly materials and innovative production methods.
Year | Event |
|---|---|
1972 | Development of the Lyocell manufacturing process at American Enka in North Carolina. |
1982 | Courtaulds Fibers trademarked Tencel and built a pilot plant in Coventry, England. |
1992 | Full commercial production of Lyocell begins in Mobile, Alabama. |
2004 | Lenzing acquires the Tencel Group, becoming the largest lyocell manufacturer. |
Production Process
You might wonder what makes lyocell fabric so special. The answer lies in its environmentally friendly production. The process starts with harvesting wood pulp from sustainably managed forests. The wood is broken down into a pulp solution, then a non-toxic solvent dissolves the pulp to form fibers.
This closed-loop system recycles and reuses almost all water and solvents, recovering over 99% of the solvent used. You get a fabric that uses less water and energy than traditional textiles.
The closed-loop system reduces waste and pollution.
It recovers nearly all the solvent, making the process safe for the environment.
Friendtex uses certified sustainable materials and meets strict standards like FSC and OEKO-TEX® to ensure every piece is safe and responsibly made.
When you choose lyocell, you support a process that values both quality and the planet.

Lyocell vs Other Fabrics
Lyocell vs Cotton
You might wonder how lyocell stacks up against cotton. When you look at environmental impact, lyocell comes out ahead in several ways:
Cotton needs a lot of water—about 2,700 liters for just one t-shirt. Lyocell uses much less water because it comes from wood pulp and uses a closed-loop process that recycles water.
Cotton farming relies on heavy pesticide use, which can harm soil and water. Lyocell production uses fewer chemicals and recycles almost all solvents, so it creates less pollution.
Here’s a quick comparison of comfort and breathability:
Property | Lyocell | Cotton |
|---|---|---|
Softness | Silky texture, retains softness | Soft, but can feel rougher over time |
Breathability | Breathable, moisture-wicking | Well-known for breathability |
You get a fabric that feels soft and stays soft, while also making a better choice for the planet. Friendtex Tencel Pajamas and Tencel Underwear show how lyocell can deliver both comfort and a lower environmental impact.
Lyocell vs Bamboo
Bamboo fabric is another popular sustainable option, but Lyocell has some clear advantages. Take a look at how they compare:
Feature | Tencel™ Lyocell | Bamboo Fabric |
|---|---|---|
Sustainability | Closed-loop process minimizes waste | Requires chemicals in processing |
Biodegradability | Yes | Yes |
Softness | Exceptional softness, retains after washes | Soft and luxurious |
Breathability | Lightweight and breathable | Natural moisture-wicking properties |
Lyocell uses a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents, which lowers its environmental impact. Bamboo needs more chemicals during processing, so it can have a bigger footprint. With Friendtex’s Tencel products, you get a fabric that feels great and supports your eco-friendly values.
Unique Strengths
Lyocell stands out for several reasons:
It’s breathable and moisture-absorbent, thanks to its smooth surface and tiny pores.
The fabric absorbs more moisture than cotton, which helps if you have sensitive skin or live in a humid place.
Lyocell wicks moisture away from your skin, making it perfect for activewear and warm weather.
The production process uses eucalyptus pulp and a closed-loop system, which recycles water and solvents to reduce environmental impact.
You see these strengths in Friendtex’s Tencel Pajamas and Tencel Underwear. They stay soft, manage moisture, and last through many washes. When you choose lyocell, you pick a fabric that puts comfort and environmental impact first.
