Doux Sol sources modal from Lenzing, which has developed innovative environmental processes for the manufacture of Lenzing Modal which are not commercially available to others. These non-toxic technologies have allowed Lenzing to recover up to 95% of Modal’s production materials, minimizing emissions and conserving resources.

The environmental footprint of Lenzing Modal is a positive one – it’s carbon-neutral, requires less land per tonne than cotton fibers and has a water consumption level that’s ten to twenty times less than that of cotton.

So why beech trees in particular, then? Because, as Lenzing explains, “the way that beech trees grow is something truly special. They multiply by ‘rejuvenation’ which means that the trees propagate by themselves.” When grown using sustainable harvesting methods, the wood from this tree represents a much more sustainable option than other thirsty plants such as cotton. This is because no artificial irrigation or planting is required to grow Beechwood and Lenzing is committed to using only wood from forests that apply prevailing forestry legislation and sustainability methods. Additionally, the raw material (pulp) is processed at the same site as the modal fibre itself, allowing Lenzing to minimize its use of energy and other such resources.

TENCEL ™ Modal cellulosic fibers naturally manage the transportation of moisture, contributing to breathable fabrics that provide a less favorable environment for bacterial growth, offering better hygienic qualities.
