Eucalyptus Fabric

Eucalyptus is a premium regenerated cellulose fibre made from sustainably grown eucalyptus trees.

It is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. 

It is produced through an innovative closed-loop process using a non-toxic solvent (NMMO), making it one of the cleanest and most environmentally responsible fabrics in the textile industry.

The material is known for its silky drape, breathable comfort, and luxurious softness, ideal for modern sustainable fashion.

KEY SUSTAINABLE ATTRIBUTES

1. Sustainably Grown Eucalyptus

  • No pesticides or fertilizers
  • Grows on non-arable land without competing with food crops
  • Very high yield per acre compared to cotton

2. Low Water Usage

  • Requires 10–20x less water than conventional cotton
  • Mostly rain-fed, no heavy irrigation systems needed
  • The NMMO solvent is recycled almost completely
  • Minimal chemical discharge
  • Nearly zero water pollution
  • Classified as one of the cleanest man-made fibres

3. Biodegradable & Compostable

  • 100% cellulose
  • Biodegrades in soil within months under proper conditions
  • No microplastics released
  • Hypoallergenic fibre
  • Safe for sensitive skin

4. Low Carbon Impact

  • Lower land, energy, and chemical inputs
  • Efficient logistics and fibre yield
  • Carbon footprint aligned with EU sustainability standards

5. Long Lifespan (Durability)

  • High fibre strength
  • Resistant to pilling
  • Longer garment life → lower environmental footprint over time

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SUMMARY 

  • Uses significantly less water than cotton

  • Produced in a closed-loop system with minimal chemical waste

  • Completely biodegradable and plastic-free

  • Lower CO₂ footprint and higher fibre yield

  • Fits EU Textile Strategy → supports microplastic reduction targets, circularity, and eco-labelling

Made From Fast-Growing, Low-Impact Eucalyptus Trees

Eucalyptus trees grow:

  • quickly,

  • with minimal water, and

  • without pesticides or fertilizers.

They can grow on non-arable land and do not compete with food crops.

→ Low agricultural footprint compared to cotton.

  • almost all solvent is recycled

  • very low chemical emissions

  • minimal waste generation

→ One of the cleanest fibre processes in the textile industry.

Biodegradable & Compostable

Eucalyptus Lyocell is 100% plant-based cellulose, making it biodegradable in both:

  • home composting conditions

  • industrial composting

→ Zero microplastic pollution.

Lower Water Usage

Eucalyptus trees need 10–20 times less water than conventional cotton.

No irrigation systems are required—mostly rain-fed.

→ Significant water savings across fibre life cycle.

 High Yield Per Acre

Eucalyptus trees produce more fibre with less land.

Higher biomass efficiency = reduced land pressure and deforestation risk.

 Non-Toxic & Safe Production

The solvent used (NMMO) is:

  • non-hazardous,

  • non-carcinogenic,

  • continuously reused.. 

Long Product Life = Lower Environmental Impact

Eucalyptus Lyocell fabrics are:

  • strong

  • long-lasting

  • resistant to pilling

Longer life = fewer replacements = reduced overall environmental footprint.

Lower Energy Use in Laundering

Fabric properties lead to:

  • quicker drying

  • lower bacteria growth

  • lower washing frequency

→ Reduced energy + water usage during consumer phase.
