After knowing the different types of TENCEL™ fibres produced by Lenzing, it is also important to analyse the advantages of using TENCEL™ Lyocell as well as disadvantages.
Advantages:
- Eucalyptus grows on arid land, on which it’s impossible to plant other crops.
- Wood comes from certified responsibly managed forest.
- Requires no irrigation water.
- Grows without the need for insecticides or pesticides.
- Easy to dye and wash.
- Comfortable and soft.
- Excellent moisture management.
- Biodegradable

Disadvantages:
A major disadvantage is that Lyocell is presently not as cost-efficient as other fibres such as cotton. However, we believe that the pros outweigh the cons and the con of cost-efficiency can be improved over time.
