Why Tani Chooses TENCEL™ Fibers Over Regular Modal
At Tani, we believe in creating the softest, most comfortable, and sustainably produced essentials. That’s why our pieces feature TENCEL™ fibers—an eco-friendly alternative that outperforms regular modal in both quality and environmental impact.
1. Not All Modal Is the Same
- Although “modal” is often used as a catch-all term, TENCEL™ is a specific, premium modal fiber produced by Lenzing, an Austrian-based company known for its sustainable manufacturing process. These fibers are crafted in a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents, making TENCEL™ a more eco-friendly choice compared to generic modal.
2. Unmatched Softness and Durability
- Smoother Surface: TENCEL™ fibers have a sleek, silky touch that feels luxurious against your skin—much smoother than typical modal.
- Enhanced Strength: These fibers are known for their durability, ensuring your Tani essentials maintain their shape and softness over time.
3. Superior Moisture Management
- Natural Breathability: TENCEL™ fibers wick moisture away efficiently, keeping you cool and dry.
- Odor Control: This moisture-wicking property also helps reduce odor buildup, providing long-lasting freshness.
4. Sustainable, Closed-Loop Production
- Eco-Friendly Process: TENCEL™ is produced in a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents, cutting down on waste and pollution compared to regular modal.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: By choosing TENCEL™, Tani supports a more responsible textile industry with lower carbon emissions and resource usage.
5. Gentle on Skin and Planet
- Hypoallergenic Qualities: The smooth fiber surface is gentle, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
- Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified: TENCEL™ fibers are sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring ethical and eco-friendly practices.
How to Know If It’s TENCEL™
All genuine TENCEL™ products at Tani carry an official TENCEL™ hang tag from Lenzing. If you don’t see this hang tag or a clear TENCEL™ statement on the product, then it’s likely made with another type of modal not produced under TENCEL™’s closed-loop, eco-friendly process. Always look for the TENCEL™ hang tag to ensure you’re getting sustainably sourced fibers.
