Tencel is said to be "the most eco-friendly fiber in the world" and is made from eucalyptus trees. It does not require pesticides or chemical fertilizers and can be grown in a small area. Regenerated fiber made exclusively from sustainable forestry tree pulp. Wood pulp is sourced from man-managed and cultivated forests, rather than harvesting natural forests or endangered forests. The solvent used to dissolve the wood pulp is harmless to nature and humans, and after almost 100% recovery, it can be recycled and reused, minimizing the impact on the environment and producing no waste liquid. It is also compostable, certified biodegradable, can be returned to the natural environment, and does not emit toxic gases when incinerated.
