Lyocell is also known by the name Tencel and is made from Eucalyptus trees. This is a fast-growing plant, which does not require tons of water or pesticides to grow. After harvesting the Eucalyptus tree, the tree is soaked in a solution called amine oxide, which is non-toxic. The amine oxide extracts the raw cellulose, so it can be made into fibers which can be spun into yarn, and finally fabrics.Pros:Lyocell is very environmentally friendly, because it is produced in a closed loop, so all chemicals used are recycledIt is a strong material, quick drying and has a good absorbencyThe absorbency is 50% better than cotton, and because of the incredibly good absorbency, the material is anti-bacterialThe fabric feels very light and soft, and doesn’t absorb sweat odor100% biodegradableAnd fun fact – it is made from treesConsIt is an expensive materialCare guide:Wash in a laundry bag and turn the garment with the inside out to avoid pilling.
