The new collaboration between Lenzing and Candiani Denim gave birth to the fabric TENCEL™ Limited Edition x COREVA™, a combination of the most sustainable technologies from the most innovative textile companies in Europe: TENCEL™ with hemp and the first compostable stretch denim.
TENCEL™ Limited Edition x COREVA™
TENCEL™ Limited Edition is a cellulosic fiber made of hemp pulp to promote sustainability in the textile industry. Hemp is well-known for being particularly sustainable and an alternative to many other materials, but it is also known for its roughness. Lenzing’s technology adds hemp to wood pulp, creating a soft, comfortable, and environmentally responsible fiber.
COREVA™ is the first plastic-free and compostable stretch denim in the world. Its technology, engineered and patented by Candiani Denim, replaces petroleum-based synthetic yarns with a plant-based yarn derived from natural rubber. The organic cotton then wraps around this material. This innovative fabric does not compromise the quality, elasticity, and durability of the products.
Lenzing with TENCEL™ Limited Edition and Candiani Denim with COREVA™ are sustainability leaders
Lenzing, which produces TENCEL™, and Candiani Denim, which developed COREVA™, are two leading companies in sustainability and share the mission of advancing it in the textile and fashion industry. The goal of the two companies is to raise awareness of the need to adopt sustainable practices, from the use of recycled materials and the reduction of carbon emissions to the proper disposal of products that, if not biodegradable, can remain in the environment for centuries.
Sustainability is at the core of Lenzing and Candiani Denim
Sustainability is a core value at Lenzing and Candiani Denim, as explained by Caroline Ledl, head of product management textiles at the Lenzing Group, and Alberto Candiani, president of Candiani Denim.
“As consumers increasingly regard sustainability as an important purchase consideration, the textile industry needs to act swiftly to offer solutions. We invented the TENCEL™ Limited Edition initiative in 2021 to explore the use of alternative raw materials, such as hemp or orange pulp, in textile production. We wanted to push the traditional boundaries of fiber production by leveraging natural resources. We value working with like-minded companies, such as Candiani Denim, who have similar environmental goals to ours, and we are excited to see what customers think about products made with this new TENCEL™ Limited Edition hemp fiber”, Caroline Ledl said.
“In a world where resources are dwindling, and there is an unmanageable excess of clothing to be disposed of, it is everyone’s duty to look to sustainable consumption and production, with maximum attention to renewable resources, biodegradable, and compostable materials. The world of denim must be at the forefront of this revolution, and we are excited to be able to collaborate with international companies such as Lenzing and to be able to share our innovation and our values with the rest of the fashion industry”, Alberto Candiani explained.
