I’ve been seeing Tencel pop up a lot lately. every brand seems to be calling it “eco-friendly” or “better for the planet.” I did a little digging and found out it’s made from wood pulp and uses a process to recycle water and solvents, which sounds great… but I’m curious if that’s true across the board..?
From what I’ve learned, not every brand sources it responsibly. Some just slap the word Tencel on the label because it sounds sustainable, even if their overall production isn’t. (Guess that's not legal?)
On the other hand, I recently found a brand called Silverlyne that’s super transparent about their fabrics (they use Tencel, Angora, silk, and cashmere) and explain where everything’s made. Their stuff actually feels like the kind of sustainability that’s more about quality and longevity instead of buzzwords.
So I’m wondering.. do you think Tencel is actually a sustainable choice if it’s coming from the right kind of brand? Or is it still just greenwashing dressed up in marketing?
