Sustainability
Refibra
With the environment becoming more and more important, GTA Belgium is always looking to produce in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. One of the things we do to achieve this, is by using TENCEL™ fibres. Made entirely from wood cellulose, they are a more eco-conscious alternative to other textile fibres such as virgin polyester or regular cotton.
What is REFIBRA™? REFIBRA™ is Lenzing’s proprietary sustainable fiber technology that blends recycled cotton scraps—both pre‑ and post‑consumer—with wood pulp from sustainably managed forests. The blended pulp is then processed into new TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers using a closed-loop production system. This innovation creates cabin-grade, biodegradable cellulosic fiber with high-performance characteristics and full supply-chain traceability .
Circularity in Action Waste becomes resource: Cotton scraps that would otherwise be incinerated or landfilled are diverted into fiber production, embracing a true circular economy model . Low-impact closed-loop process: REFIBRA™ production reclaims over 99% of solvents, uses significantly less water than conventional cotton, and is entirely bio-based and compostable .
TENCEL™ Modal fibres
TENCEL™ Modal fibres are a step-up from normal TENCEL™ fibres. They are softer, lighter and thinner than their brother. Made from beech trees instead of eucalyptus, they are very strong and durable, making them perfect for high-traffic fabrics such as mattresses. Twice as soft, more breathable than regular cotton and with excellent colour fastness, this versatile fibre will lead the market in no time.
Organic cotton
Sleep in purity. Sleep with purpose. Sleep with organic cotton.
Organic cotton mattress ticking reflects a commitment to natural purity, ethical sourcing, and restorative sleep. Grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds, organic cotton preserves soil health and biodiversity while offering a fabric that’s soft, breathable, and gentle on the skin. This ticking fabric is crafted using low-impact processing methods and often certified by standards like GOTS and OEKO-TEX, ensuring safety for both people and planet. Its hypoallergenic nature makes it ideal for sensitive sleepers, while its durability supports long-term comfort without compromising sustainability.
Eco-Conscious
Organic cotton is a cornerstone of eco-conscious textile innovation—grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds, it nurtures both the planet and the people who wear it. By embracing regenerative farming practices, organic cotton preserves soil health, conserves water and supports biodiversity. Its cultivation uses up to 88% less water and 62% less energy compared to conventional cotton, making it a responsible choice for sustainable mattress ticking .
