Modal

A variety of viscose rayon, Modal is a beechwood-pulp based cellulosic fibre. It is 50% more water-absorbent per unit volume than cotton.

Process of making Modal

Environmental impact of Modal:

• It requires less land per tonne than cotton fibres.
• It consumes ten to twenty times less water than cotton during production.
• The process of producing Modal is carbon neutral meaning that for every quantity of carbon emission, by saving an equivalent amount of carbon in other, related or unrelated productions, the footprint is balanced.
