  2. Approximately 92% lower water use, calculated from Shen & Patel (2010), Table 12, p. 31. Compares LENZING™ Modal with the study’s US/Chinese cotton reference per tonne of fibre, from raw materials to the fibre factory gate, including cooling water and excluding rainfall.
  3. According to Higg MSI, carbon emissions and water consumption from TENCEL™ Modal fibre production are at least 50% lower than generic modal fibres.
