TITLE: Organic Cotton TEXT: Organic cotton is grown entirely without chemical pesticides, artificial fertiliser or genetically modified seeds, which results in better soil quality, greater biodiversity and balanced ecosystems. The organic quality of the cotton is assured by independent inspections according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) or Organic Content Standard (OCS). Garments that are GOTS-certified bear the GOTS symbol on the garment label. Sometimes we mix organic cotton with other fibres to create an Organic Cotton Blend. The resulting garment is then composed of a combination of organic cotton and other fibres, but never conventionally farmed cotton. It is expensive and time consuming to convert agriculture to organic. Therefore, only a small part of all cotton production in the world is organic.

TITLE: TENCEL™ Lyocell TEXT: The responsible production of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO2 compared to generic lyocell fibers, according to Higg MSI, thereby saving precious resources for future generations. TENCEL™ Lyocell is known for its innovative closed loop production process. Wood pulp is transformed into cellulosic fibers, while more than 99.8% of the solvent are recovered and fed back into the loop, resulting in close-to-zero wastage. TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.

TITLE: TENCEL™ Modal TEXT: The responsible production of TENCEL™ Modal fibers uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO2 compared to generic lyocell fibers, according to Higg MSI, thereby saving precious resources for future generations. The TENCEL™ Modal production process is based on a highly resource-efficient technology with high recovery rates of chemicals. TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.

TITLE: LENZING™ ECOVERO™ TEXT: The responsible production of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO2 compared to generic viscose fibers, according to Higg MSI, thereby saving precious resources for future generations. The wood used as raw material for all LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers is sourced from controlled or certified origins meeting FSC® or PEFC standards. LENZING™ and ECOVERO™ are trademarks of Lenzing AG.

TITLE: LIVAECO BY BIRLA CELLULOSE™ TEXT: A viscose quality made of Birla Cellulose fibers, which comes from certified responsible forestry. The material is produced in a closed system, where the water and solvents are reused, causing a reduced impact on the environment. Products containing this fiber are labelled with “Livaeco by Birla Cellulose™” on the hangtag/packaging

TITLE: Recycled Polyester TEXT: Recycled polyester is made from PET bottles and scraps and by-products from the manufacturing industry, as opposed to conventional polyester which is made from oil. Making recycled material is less resource-intensive than producing material from scratch, which is why it reduces pollution and energy consumption. It also reduces the volume of waste. Our Recycled Polyester-labelled garments contain at least 50 percent recycled material.

TITLE: Rescued Fabrics TEXT: Often, design comes first, and materials second. But with Rescued Fabrics we’re doing the exact opposite. What leftover fabrics might our suppliers have in their storage? How can we design garments or products to put those leftovers to use? By utilizing leftover materials from previous collections, we take care of valuable resources.

TITLE: Recycled Polaymide TEXT: The raw material source for recycled polyamide can be old fishing nets and carpets, and also waste from the manufacturing industry. Materials that would otherwise be scrapped are used, which saves the planet’s precious resources and contributes to reduced emissions. Our Recycled Polyamide-labelled garments contain at least 50 percent recycled material.

TITLE: Our Denim TEXT: All of our denim is made with certified materials and production processes that use less chemicals, energy and water than conventional jeans production methods. The materials we use are Better Cotton, organic cotton, recycled cotton and recycled polyester. The prewash process for our denim products involves far fewer chemicals, about half as much water and almost 30 per cent less energy, as compared with conventional denim production.
