Lenzing: TENCEL fibers ‘Bast Recast’

The latest Sustainable Denim Wardrobe, entitled ‘Bast Recast’, mixes historic hemp !bers with the versatility of Tencel !bers. The collection takes its name from the idea of recasting – or relaunching – bast !bers, which include linen, #ax and hemp. “The interest in hemp is like a new beginning in the apparel area,” said Michael Kininmonth, project manager at Lenzing. Both Tencel Lyocell and hemp can claim to have a low environmental impact due to their low water use, high yields and low pesticide use during cultivation. Throughout the project, responsible products and processes have also been used wherever possible. tencel.com
