lyocell
lyocell
Noun
Lyocell is a technical term used primarily in the textile and sustainable fashion industries. It carries a positive, eco-conscious connotation, often marketed as a superior, more ethical alternative to traditional viscose or rayon due to its closed-loop production process.
As a material noun referring to a specific type of fiber or fabric, it is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It is typically used without an article when describing the composition of a garment, such as in the phrase "made of lyocell," rather than as a countable object.
