Lenzing Group, an Austrian leading provider of sustainably produced specialty fibres for global textile and nonwoven industries, has announced the extension of its fibre identification technology to Tencel branded lyocell and modal fibres, solidifying its commitment to providing supply chain transparency along the entire textile production process.
The successful launch and feedback from the industry on the system used for Lenzing Ecovero branded fibres, as well as the growing number of wood-based cellulosic manufacturers, encouraged Lenzing to further expand the technology for the Tencel brand to ensure traceability of its products, according to the company.
Lenzing’s fibre identification technology provides physical identification of fibre origin at different stages of textile products such as the fabric and garment level, Lenzing added. This enables full traceability of the fibre, protects from counterfeiting and provides assurance to brands and retailers that their products are made from Tencel branded lyocell and modal fibres.
