TENCEL – Tencel is a branded type of lyocell fibers that is extremely gentle and made from the wood pulp of Eucalyptus trees that is both biodegradable and recyclable (fun fact: eucalyptus grows quickly without pesticides, fertilizers, genetic manipulation or irrigation). Producing tencel involves less energy, water usage, and fabric than other conventional fabrics, and doesn't get bleached as well. Tencel's manufacturing process is also an extremely environmentally friendly process unlike that of other wood-pulp based fibers (rayon and modal). Fabrics made with tencel or lyocell fibers have a smooth, silky feeling and a cotton-like appearance.
