Modal is derived from beech wood and valued for its softness and strength. Like viscose, conventional modal production involves hazardous chemicals and typically without closed-loop recovery.
TENCEL™ Modal, produced by Lenzing, offers a more responsible alternative, with certified wood sourcing and verified closed-loop chemical recovery systems that reduce social and environmental risks.
We suggest specifying TENCEL™ Modal to ensure sourcing from certified, responsibly managed forests with credible certifications such as FSC. Where possible, replace generic modal with lower-impact fibres and confirm supplier transparency around chemical recovery and closed-loop production for minimised environmental impact.
