Saturday feels like........
Enshrine Cape Dress
Made from Viscose using fibre generated from the Lenzing 'closed loop system' where there is an almost complete recovery of the toxic solvent, which both minimizes emissions and conserves resources. Lenzing uses a new non-toxic solvent (amine oxide) and the cellulose is dissolved in N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide rather than sulfuric acid. Water is also evaporated, and the resulting solution filtered and extruded as filaments through spinnerets into an aqueous bath. Over 99% of the solvent can be washed from the fiber and purified for re-use. The water is also recycled.
The by products of production, such as acetic acid, xylose and sodium sulphate are key ingredients in the food and glass industry. Remaining materials are used as energy for the Lenzing process.
