Water withdrawals and water consumption |
Negative impact
|
Pulp and fiber production as well as textile manufacturing can be water-intensive. Water withdrawal by Lenzing and its downstream value chain partners can contribute to increasing water scarcity. |

Opportunity
|
Lenzing’s fibers products are produced with a lower water footprint compared to generic regenerated cellulose fibers. This can help value chain partners to meet their water conservation targets and secure Lenzing’s business. This strategy promotes efforts to reduce overall water usage across the supply chain. |
