    LCA - Life cycle analysis of fibers

    Comprehensive evaluation of fibers (ISO 14040 series)

    Utrecht University, The Netherlands (Prof. M. Patel, LiShen)

    Assessment of sustainability of Lenzing fibersin comparison to cotton, polyester and polypropylene.

    11 environmentally relevant factors studied

    Peer studies confirm results

    Result:

    Environmental load of Lenzing fibers is significantly lower thanthat of cotton!
