About the Lenzing Group
The Lenzing Group stands for eco-responsible production of specialty
fibers based on cellulose and recycled material. As an innovation leader,
Lenzing is a partner of global textile and nonwoven manufacturers and
drives many new technological developments. The Lenzing Group’s
high-quality fibers form the basis for a variety of textile applications
ranging from functional, comfortable and fashionable clothing to durable
and sustainable home textiles. Due to their special properties and their
botanical origin, the TÜV certified biodegradable and compostable Lenzing
fibers are also highly suitable for everyday hygiene products.
The business model of the Lenzing Group goes far beyond that of a
traditional fiber producer. Together with its customers and partners,
Lenzing develops innovative products along the value chain, creating added
value for consumers. The Lenzing Group strives for the efficient
utilization and processing of all raw materials and offers solutions to
help transform the textile industry from the current linear economic
system towards a circular economy. In order to reduce the speed of global
warming and thus also support the targets of the Paris Agreement and the
EU Commission’s “Green Deal”, Lenzing has developed a clear science-based
climate action plan that aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 2030 and a net-zero goal (scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2050.
