“sustainable development is development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs”
The word sustainability is derived from the Latin
sustinere (tenere, to hold; sus, up).
Timber Wood Chips Pulp Fiber
Sustainable, renewable unlimited raw material
Cellulose is the most important construction material of nature
Cellulose growth approximately 40 Million Tons/Year
0,3% of all cellulose used for Pulp Industry
Fiber Pulp has different quality compared to paper pulp
Fiber raw material wood
INHERENT TREATED HYBRID
“A specific property, existing
in something as a permanent
and inseparable element,
quality, or attribute”
“A textile material
constructed with inherent FR
and non-FR yarns in system
combination (e.g. warp and
weft)”
“A textile material that has a
chemical topical finishing,
that makes the textile more
resistant to flame”

Conclusion
Customers are
demanding
Best performance
less impact on
nature ≠
Keeping a
constant
challenge for
textile industry
Lenzing fibers are
not only the most
sustainable
solution…
… but also the
most comfortable
and protective!
