DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
When we talk about the environment, we often refer to the butterfly effect, how even little changes can make a big difference.
Sensa Green is one of those little things with significance, a state-of-the-art embroidery thread.
The main ingredient in Sensa Green comes from sustainably managed forests. The trees are grown on non-agricultural soil, are watered by the rain and do not require pesticides, fungicides or herbicides.- In order to extract cellulose, the raw materials are turned into woodchips. The non-cellulosic components are then saved to create other components. Nothing is wasted.
- A further transformation turns the cellulose into a pulp from which the biodegradable lyocell fibres are derived.
- The lyocell is manufactured by Lenzing, using resource-saving and eco-friendly processes that have received the European Business Award for the Environment.
- These fibres are transported short distances to Madeira’s factory in Germany, where many expert threads are made. Here, they get their silk matt colours and finish to become Sensa Green.
- All to create a sensationally soft embroidery. Its incredible performance on industrial machines ensures high quality with a low ecological impact. Substances of animal origin are avoided throughout production from beginning to end.
What makes Sensa Green so unique?
Sensa Green is one of the most sustainable embroidery threads in the world. This first ever coloured lyocell thread is manufactured from sustainably harvested trees, a renewable natural resource. The closed-loop production process saves resources and produces minimal waste.
