PREFERRED MATERIALS AND ECO-FRIENDLY OPTIONS
We acknowledge that sustainability is an expansive term that can be interpreted in many ways. We believe that materials are an important focus area when it comes to more sustainable production. On this page you will find different materials that we incorporate in our collections to make them more sustainable and reduce environmental impact.
No toxic chemicals are used in the growing of organic cotton, and the organic farming sustains the ecosystems and health of soils. The production of organic cotton uses significantly less water and energy than conventional cotton while protection the groundwater from pollution. This production method is also much better for the farmers as they won’t come into contact with toxic chemicals while farming their land.
Seawool is made from crushed oyster shell waste and grounded into a powder, which is then mixed with recycled PET pellets and turned into innovative new yarns and fabrics.
Tencel™ lyocell fibres are derived from sustainable wood sources, harvested from FSC certified and controlled forests. The fibres are manufactured using an environmentally responsible closed loop production process with high resource efficiency and high recovery rate of water.
ECO VERO™ represents best practices within viscose, with raw materials coming from certified, controlled and transparent sources. The fibres have been certified with the recognised EU Ecolabel; a label only awarded to products which have a significantly lower environment impact. The manufacturing of ECOVERO™ generates up to 50% lower emission and water impact compared to generic viscose.
Recycled polyester reduces landfills and the dependence on fossil raw materials. The production of recycled polyester requires significant less water, energy and CO2 emission compared to virgin polyester. Polyester can be recycled many times without quality degradation.
