Sustainability has now moved out of the niche and into an expectation among ethical consumers and forward-thinking brands. Among the many eco-friendly fibers currently available, Tencel Lyocell has emerged as a clear front-runner. Here at Shaoxing City Ohyeah Textile Co., Ltd., we have been a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly knits for over 20 years and know why Tencel Lyocell has consistently earned the trust of quality-driven brands.
A Closed Loop Production Process That Minimizes Waste
What makes Tencel Lyocell most sustainable compared to traditional viscose and regular lyocell lies in its manufacturing process. Because the process uses closed-loop manufacturing, it has the ability to recover more than 99% of the solvents and water utilized within the process itself. This ensures that hardly any waste is discarded back into the environment and that only very minimal waste products go into the waste system. For a brand that wants genuine green credentials, this is crucial.
At Ohyeah Textile, we go one step further and provide OEKO-TEX certifications for the entire supply chain, from yarn to our final knits. Many of our Tencel Lyocell knits can also boast GOTS, OCS, or GRS certifications. With a purchase from Ohyeah Textile, you're getting more than just the fiber, you're getting a fully traceable, sustainable garment that you can present to your consumers with confidence.
Exceptional Comfort That Encourages Longer Wear
Sustainability requires that products be durable in the first place. The best way to promote an eco-friendly product is for consumers to wear it year after year, not just for a few months. Tencel Lyocell's outstanding comfort has a huge role to play here. Its smooth, circular fiber structure offers a luxurious feel against the skin comparable to silk or fine cotton, and its moisture-wicking capabilities naturally draw moisture away from the skin and release it into the atmosphere.
Consumers are drawn to comfort. Because Tencel Lyocell feels so luxurious against the skin, consumers will choose to wear, and therefore wash their Tencel Lyocell pieces more often. Each of our Tencel Lyocell knits, part of our 200-ton monthly production capacity, can be custom produced in various weights and weaves – from lightweight summer top knits to cosy winter fleece–and each one has shrinkage below 5% and color fastness levels of 4 to 5; the wear and washing performance of our fabrics is remarkable, meaning they last much longer than other garments, and contribute to less waste.
Strength and Durability Without Synthetic Compromises
Sustainable fibers are all very well and good, but they often lack durability and other functional qualities, like strength and an ability to resist pilling. Tencel Lyocell, however, has excellent dry and wet tensile strength compared to other cellulosic fibers and does not pill at all. Given the constant wear and tear on knits, this is very significant. Garments that pill easily are destined for waste much sooner than they should be.
At Ohyeah Textile, our quality control department monitors every stage of production. Our 100+ circular knitting machines and 20 dyeing vats are all managed with exceptional diligence. Our pretreatment, dyeing, and finishing stages are also rigorously monitored and controlled to preserve the natural qualities of Tencel Lyocell and ensure a high quality durable fabric. Our durable, performance-based fabrics bring true value to brands and to end consumers.
Versatility Across Multiple Apparel Categories
Another key factor why many sustainable brands turn to Tencel Lyocell is that it is versatile. It can be used alone or blended with various eco-friendly fibers such as organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled polyester. Brands have more scope to define particular looks and fits without compromising the fiber's environmental friendliness.
Here at Ohyeah Textile, we produce all manner of eco-friendly fabric options, using Tencel Lyocell at the heart of some of our most popular knits. Our top-selling products include a wide variety of bamboo lyocell knits,modal knits, organic cottons, and recycled polyester blends. From silky, draping base-layers to hardy, structure-defining sweatshirt fleece, we have what you’re looking for. Our team of five eco-friendly fabric specialists combines expert knowledge, research, and experience to ensure you receive the exact fabric you need.
