TENCEL® {Lenzing}
9.5
Description
This submission represents TENCEL® fiber produced by Lenzing group in Europe and the US. This is a cradle to gate process, from wood harvest until fiber production. Lyocell technology was used to produce fibers. This fiber process should be combined with appropriate down stream process stages such as spinning, knitting, coloration and finishing to create a TENCEL® fabric scenario. All the methodological aspects are presented in Shen and Patel (2010). This LCA study was peer-reviewed by thirdparty experts. We applied SAC-MSI methodology to obtain the results.
