What is Lyocell material?
Lyocell is manufactured from the wood and cellulose of sustainably harvested Eucalyptus trees. A tree which grows quickly without need of irrigation, pesticides, fertilizers or genetic manipulation. It can also be planted on marginal land that cannot be used for crops. Lyocell fiber a cellulose-based fibre manufactured from specially-grown wood pulp.The wood pulp is broken down by special amine solutions into semi-liquid paste. The paste is then ejected under pressure from a special spinneret nozzle to form threads; these are flexible and can be woven and manipulated just like natural fibres.
Why is Lyocell a sustainable material
Lyocell is worldwide known for being a sustainable material, not just because it has roots in a natural source (that is wood cellulose), but also because it has an eco-friendly production process. In fact, the spinning process necessary to make Lyocell recycles 99.5% of the solvent involved in this circuit, which means very little chemicals are left to waste.
That's what is called a “closed loop” process.It's a manufacturing process that doesn't create harmful by-products. The dissolvent chemicals involved in its creation are not toxic and can be reused over and over, meaning they are not released in the environment once the process is finished. Amine oxide, which is one of the solvents involved in the Lyocell fiber production process, isn't harmful and it's totally recyclable.
lyocell can be recycled and will also happily and quickly biodegrade given the right conditions – just like the wood it is made from. It can either be burnt to produce energy or digested in sewage plants or your own backyard compost heap. Tests have shown that lyocell fabric will degrade completely in waste treatment plants over a period of just a few days.
Furthermore, one of Lyocell's most common sources are eucalyptus trees and they check all the right boxes. Eucalyptus trees can grow literally almost anywhere, even in lands that are no longer fit for planting food. They grow very quickly and they don't require any irrigation or pesticides.
Why we choose Lyocell material
As Lyocell is botanic origin, sustainable production, gentle on skin, long-lasting softness, contributes to breathability, color retention and biodegradability. Strength and Elasticity,which is transforms it into a highly durable fabric .
Lyocell is a versatile fiber ,maybe the most flexible of them all .Using controllable fibrillation,Lyocell can be shaped into a variety of designs without compromised quality .we use this suatinable material for cosmetic bags to show our environmental concept.
