Get to know organic materials: What is TENCEL™ Lyocell?

Lyocell is a material that has gained popularity in recent years due to its sustainability and softness, and at Aiguavista we incorporate it into many of our home textiles. This article will explore what lyocell is, why it is an eco-friendly option, and how it can improve the quality of textiles in your home.

What is Lyocell?

Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fibre derived from wood cellulose, usually obtained from sustainable sources such as eucalyptus, bamboo and oak. Its production process is highly efficient and environmentally friendly, making it an eco-friendly option for textiles.

At Aiguavista, Lyocell products are made from TENCEL™, a registered trademark of lyocell created by the Austrian company Lenzing. It is characterized by being soft, breathable and resistant, as well as having excellent performance in absorbing moisture, which makes it ideal for clothing and home textiles.

Lyocell Production Process

Unlike other fibers, lyocell is produced through a closed-loop process, where the chemicals used are recycled, significantly reducing waste. This process is much cleaner than other methods used to make synthetic fibers such as polyester.

Why choose lyocell for home textiles?

Lyocell is not only environmentally friendly, but also offers a number of practical advantages for home textiles:

  • Breathable and absorbent: Ideal for bedding and towels as it absorbs moisture and allows the skin to breathe.

  • Soft and Durable: The soft texture of lyocell makes it very comfortable to the touch, and its durability ensures that the textiles last a long time.

  • Anti-allergic and bacteria resistant : Due to its natural properties, it is perfect for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

At Aiguavista, we believe that sustainable textiles, such as those made from lyocell, not only take care of the planet, but also of your home.

How to care for lyocell textiles?

To keep your lyocell textiles in perfect condition, wash them at low temperatures and use mild detergents. Its ability to maintain its shape and softness over time makes it an excellent investment.
