Did you know about cellulose fibers

Cellulose fibers, like viscose and lyocell, come from wood pulp and are biodegradable. It’s fascinating how their production can be more sustainable compared to traditional cotton, especially when made with closed-loop processes that recycle water and solvents. I’m curious, how do others here weigh the benefits and challenges of using these materials in eco-conscious designs?

I’ve seen great success using lyocell blends in my eco-conscious designs, especially because they drape beautifully and feel soft against the skin… But it’s crucial to ensure the source of your wood pulp is sustainable — have you considered that aspect in your projects, too?
