In an era where fashion must answer for its environmental footprint, Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose is leading the charge as a truly sustainable fabric solution. It’s not just another “green label” trend—it’s a game-changer for designers and sourcing professionals who care about transparency, traceability, and style.
Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose is made from FSC- or PEFC-certified wood pulp in a closed-loop process that reduces CO₂ emissions and water impact by up to 50% compared to conventional viscose. It offers luxurious drape, softness, and breathability—ideal for eco-fashion collections that need both conscience and performance.
This article explores the benefits of Ecovero™, its production process, performance characteristics, top sourcing regions, and how to communicate its value to eco-conscious buyers.
What Makes Ecovero™ Different from Conventional Viscose?
The term “viscose” often raises eyebrows in the sustainability world due to the traditional process's impact. Ecovero™ changes that conversation—radically.
Ecovero™ is a branded viscose fiber produced by Austria’s Lenzing Group, derived from certified renewable wood sources and manufactured in a process that meets the EU Ecolabel’s high environmental standards.
How Is Ecovero™ More Sustainable?
- Wood Origin: Derived only from FSC or PEFC-certified forests.
- Manufacturing: Uses a closed-loop process that recycles chemicals and minimizes emissions.
- Transparency: Lenzing’s fiber ID technology allows supply chain traceability at the yarn level.

What Are the Environmental Savings?
Compared to generic viscose:
- 50% lower water impact
- 50% lower CO₂ emissions
- Certified with EU Ecolabel for textile products.

How Does Ecovero™ Perform in Fashion Design?
Eco-fabrics are often assumed to sacrifice performance for values. But Ecovero™ proves that sustainability can also feel luxurious.
Ecovero™ viscose offers silk-like drape, high breathability, and soft skin-feel, making it ideal for fluid silhouettes, printed dresses, and natural-dye collections. It holds color vibrancy well and adapts to various dyeing and finishing techniques.
Why Do Designers Love Ecovero™?
- Superior Drape: Ideal for midi dresses, flowy pants, and kaftans.
- Breathable: Keeps the body cool in spring/summer collections.
- Print Clarity: Excellent for botanical or geometric prints.
- Biodegradable: Breaks down faster than synthetic blends.
See examples in collections from Armedangels and People Tree, both of which use Ecovero™ in capsule lines.
What Fabrics and Blends Are Available?
- 100% Ecovero™ plain weave
- Ecovero™/linen blends for rustic looks
- Ecovero™/spandex for stretch shirting or leggings
- Twill, crepe, voile, and satin textures
