Impact Score: B
52% EcoVero Viscose, 48% Viscose. 6 weeks - 20 years for the Viscose to biodegrade in a landfill depending on soil conditions.
What we love:
EcoVero Viscose is made from sustainable wood sources, has a smaller environmental footprint, and is produced using a closed loop system that reuses water and chemicals
Viscose is soft as silk (but is more breathable and durable)
What we don't love:
Only half of the material is EcoVero Viscose, and the other half is "normal" Viscose
Normal Viscose production requires a higher concentration of chemicals that pollutes air and water
Most Viscose production impacts rainforests and contributes to deforestation*
*Because we have limited traceability on the origin of this Viscose, we can only assume this to be true.
