Tencel
Sustainable cellulose textile
Tencel is a brand name for lyocell, a fiber made from wood pulp through a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents.
The fabric is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, popular in sustainable fashion: This shirt is 100% Tencel.
Like kleenex or xerox, the trademark often appears lowercase when used generically for lyocell fabrics.
