Tencel is a soft, breathable, lightweight and comfortable fabric. It is shrink-resistant, durable and wrinkle resistant making it easy to pack. Tencel is made from cellulose in wood pulp, which is harvested from tree-farmed trees. The tree farms have been established on land unsuitable for food crops or grazing. The fiber is produced via an advanced "closed loop" solvent spinning process, with minimal impact on the environment and economical use of energy and water. The solvent used in the process is toxic but 99% is recovered and continually recycled. Production plant emissions are significantly lower in comparison to many other man-made fiber operations. The European Union awarded this process the Environmental Award 2000 in the category "technology for sustainable developments".
