Zara Join Life – the sustainable label
ZARA “JOIN LIFE” is the label employed by the fashion brand to define the collections that stand out for having used particularly sustainable and environmentally-friendly processes.These articles of clothing comply with the highest standards regarding health, safety and environmental friendliness. Garments featuring the Zara Join Life label carry discrete messages, such as Care for Fiber, informing shoppers that a specific product has been made using more sustainable raw materials such as organic cotton, TENCEL® or recycled fibers. The raw materials are carefully selected to minimize any environmental impact and protect biological diversity. In the case of TENCEL®, the fibers are produced in a closed loop process that allows 100% of the water and 95% of the chemicals used to be recycled!

Successful T-shirt of wood
The idea for FUNKTION SCHNITT (FUNCTION CUT) arose not only from the feeling that the market was asking for a brand like this, but also from the founder’s sense that something was missing. FUNKTION SCHNITT are specialists when it comes to exceptional t-shirts that adapt perfectly to the individual look. The shirts are made of 67%TENCEL® and 33% combed cotton and are produced in fair conditions in Porto (Portugal). The ecological production is an important part of the company’s philosophy. The smooth, finely mixed fiber surface and the attractive sheen of TENCEL® create a high-quality impression and make the shirts perfect for the office, going out and relaxing. The TENCEL® shirts are bestsellers in the current collection.

TENCEL® in bags – A portable solution for A better environment
TENCEL®, the sustainable cellulose fiber from the House of Lenzing, contributes towards a better environment. Reusable tote bags of TENCEL® are biodegradable, compostable and sustainable. These TENCEL® fibers that have been processed into bags are an alternative to billions of plastic bags! Before a bag of TENCEL® is disposed of in an eco-friendly way, it can be used again and again and again. Bags with TENCEL® fibers are produced in different sizes and qualities. These bags deserve to be given preference over plastic for the sake of our environment.

Bridge project: turn the fancy trend into reality
Most customers get the trend information but rarely turn it into reality. Bridge project is more like a textile design lab rather than simply a trend presentation. For example, people are surrounded by hard, cold surfaces and technology. Therefore, they crave tactile surfaces and flexible materials that are touchable and more human. Therefore, fabrics should be elaborated in every possible way - openwork, quilting, stiches, ribs, pleats, seersucker - to obtain textured surfaces and tiny effects that stimulate curiosity. The feel of the material has never been of greater importance. Lenzing has highlighted the most interesting fabrics and participants in the Bridge project.
