Sustainable elastic underwear tapes

As opposed to the standard elastic tapes used in men’s underwear, which contain polyester filament yarns, this tape employs an Nm 20/2 count spun fibre yarn made from TENCEL® micro- fibres, which are manufactured by Lenzing AG in Austria. Lenzing, which is the world’s leading supplier of regenerated cellulose fibres, is well-known for its environment-friendly, corporate policies and the raw materials for the regenerated fibres are obtained exclusively from domestic beech wood in a process that has no environmental impact. Fibre regeneration takes place in a closed system, whereby virtually all the solvents used can be recovered. In particular, this product stands out due to its extremely soft feel and gentleness on the skin. The tape was woven on an NHJM2 53 4/66 jacquard needle loom.
