Impact Score: A
78% Cotton, 22% Tencel Lyocell. 3-4 months to biodegrade depending on soil conditions.
What we love:
Tencel Lyocell fibers are sustainably forested and certified carbon neutral, meaning it produces less carbon emissions and uses renewable energy during production
Tencel Lyocell is derived from the eucalyptus plant, which doesn’t need much water, any pesticides, or even healthy soil
Tencel Lyocell uses non-toxic solvents during production, which makes any emissions lower
Cotton is harvested entirely by hand, making the fabric extra durable. Because of this durability, the garment will naturally have a longer lifespan
Cotton biodegrades much faster than most fabrics
What we don't love:
This cotton is not organic
Not farmed regeneratively
