Key Features
The solution checked and verified on delivery and sustainability standards by Sustainability Kiosk experts
- Quality is built into the product, even into its name. TENCEL™ comes from Tenacity (‘Ten’) and Cellulose (‘Cel’). It uses fiber which has the highest strength in the cellulose fiber family. TENCEL™ Fibers provides comfort that is superior to cotton, thus offering the best of both products.
- TENCEL™ fibers absorb and distribute moisture quickly over a large surface. Normal cotton has 6-8% moisture regain; TENCEL™ has 10-12% moisture regain. Higher the regain, better is the moisture regulation and comfort.
- This characteristic offers better absorption of water by bath towels, as well as shorter drying times during the laundry process.
- Dr. Linen™’s better moisture management also creates unfavourable conditions for the growth of bacteria or mildew, compared to when 100% cotton products are used.
- Dr. Linen™ fabrics dry faster, the turnaround time is also shorter. Most importantly, these fabrics require less water during the laundry process.
- The choice of linen will shift from brand standards like 100% cotton, which is a water-intensive crop, to sustainable, hygienic options like Dr. Linen™
- Dr. Linen™ fabrics have a 10-12% Moisture Regain.
The Process
- Lenzing’s TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are made from the bark of the eucalyptus tree. A pulp conversion process transforms this into white pulp, dissolved in an organic solvent, much like sugar dissolving in water.
- This solution is then passed through a spinneret and reprecipitated in the form of strands of Lyocell fibre.
- The trees that provide the raw material are taken only from those certified as sustainable forests.
- The solvent used is recirculated to the extent of 99.9%. Wastewater generation is minimal; whatever is generated is adequately treated.
- TENCEL™ yarn is produced in Austria by Lenzing, and then tree yarn is transported to India, where the wool is blended with cotton to create Dr. Linen™ Products.

Raw Materials
Tencel requires less water in processing the fibre than that cotton. For example, 20,000 litres of water is needed to process a kilo of cotton, whereas Tencel requires only 50 Litres of water. Lenzing's TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are made from the bark of the eucalyptus tree.
Manufacture
Tencel Yarn is produced in Austria and then transported raw to India, for blending and manufacture.
Transport & Delivery
Bales are transported by sea freight from Austria to India.
Disposal, Reuse & Recycle
All condemned linen eventually ends up in a landfill, the soil or the sea, where it survives for years and may slowly pollute its environment…but not TENCEL™. Certified as biodegradable, it becomes compost or biodegrades within 16-20 weeks, wherever it ends up, leaving no long-term, permanent impact on the environment.
Impact Reporting
- Less energy and water used in laundering
- Better breathability leading to higher standards of hygiene
- Purchasing from a company that has a closed-loop sustainable manufacturing process
