Denim Capsule with Refibra(TM) Fibers Designed by Adriano Goldschmied
The circular economy gives us an opportunity to rethink and redesign the way we make stuff. It is estimated that every year 80% of fashion garments end up in landfills and that is why Lenzing has developed an innovative new business model as a practical solution to promote circular economy in the apparel industry with the launch of Refibra™ branded lyocell fibers.
The Refibra™ fiber is the first commercial scale cellulose fiber featuring chemically recycled material. Made from a blend of pulps that include post-industrial cotton scraps and wood, this new generation of TENCEL® lyocell fiber represents the ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ process. The RefibraTM fiber recently achieved the Recycled Claim Standard, which certifies that all production processes in its entire supply chain adhere to the proper steps that ensure the final product’s integrity. A special manufacturing process makes it possible to identify the Refibra™ fiber in the finished garment.
Take a peek at the denim capsule collection designed by Adriano Goldschmied and featuring new fabrics developed with Refibra™ branded lyocell fibers. Adriano first began working with TENCEL® lyocell back in the mid-1990s with the launch of his AGoldE label. Because he is a strong advocate for sustainable practices in denim, Lenzing commissioned Adriano to design this 21st century capsule collection featuring fabrics from eight global premium denim mills, with design, production, and laundry processing taking place in his Los Angeles studio.
