WHAT'S ECOVERO FIBER?

It is a revolutionary fiber patented by Lenzing AG, an Austrian fiber manufacturer (the same as Tencel Lyocell), which has a production philosophy that pays particular attention to sustainability.

The EcoVero comes from the processing of wood pulp through a sustainable circular process.
The main resource, wood, comes from FSC certified forests, mostly located in Austria and Bavaria.

It is an eco-responsible viscose produced with a system that reduces by 50% CO2 emissions and 50% water consumption, therefore much more sustainable than traditional viscose.
The fiber has obtained the EU ECOLABEL certification as evidence of a constant commitment to a production process that is truly responsible towards our environment.

HEre the reasons why you should choose a garment made of Ecovero:

  • In production, the water consumption is reduced by 50% compared to traditional viscose.
  • The wood comes from FSC certified forests
  • Requires significantly less water consumption even compared to traditional cotton
  • The production process is sustainable and EU ECOLABEL certified
  • CO2 emissions into the environment are also reduced by about 50%.
  • It is biodegradable - Biodegradability time: 3 months approx. (it should be considered, however, that fabrics with prints have a higher biodegradation time)
  • It is exceptional to the touch
  • It is resistant and leaves a feeling of freshness and lightness on the skin

CONS

The EcoVero has no particular disadvantages.
However, it should be mentioned that it is not a natural fiber but an artificial fiber derived from natural resources.
The production process is absolutely sustainable, controlled, and transparent.
