Lyocell is a semi-synthetic cellulosic fibre (typically made from eucalyptus trees) that is meant to solve the water-intensiveness of cotton today. However, it is challenging to find sustainable raw materials to produce lyocell. Moreover, conventionally-produced lyocell has high cost which deters their widespread adoption.

Our solution, TWINCEL, is made from waste sugarcane which is also known as sugarcane bagasse (SCB) as opposed to virgin materials used for conventional lyocell. SCB has high cellulose content hence is biodegradable and recyclable. Production of SCB into TWINCEL cellulose pulp is made using an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process that is also 15% cheaper than conventional lyocell, while retaining the qualities of conventional lyocell (e.g. softer and more breathable compared to cotton).
