Viscose is made from the cellulose from different trees. The trees are cut down, chopped up into small wooden chips and then processed to become a dissolving pulp. This process uses high amounts of water and many chemicals that can not be reused.
Better alternatives to conventional viscose include TENCEL™ Lyocell, TENCEL™ Modal, and upcycled viscose, which use closed-loop processes and certified wood sources.
If viscose must be used, prioritise suppliers rated highly in Canopy’s Hot Button Report and fibres sourced from responsibly managed forests.
