3 tips to become a more sustainable fashion brand

What is the environmental impact of your company, products or clothing? And if you want to become more sustainable or work towards circularity, where to start?

A circular textile-industry is where we have to be in 2025, much sooner than most of us think. The Dutch government strives to run a circular economy in 2050. In that sense the textile industry is far ahead!

Let’s start talking about your labelling.

3 easy tips:

• CHOOSE RECYCLED
  Lower the impact by re-using materials. Polyester suits great for this.
  Also hangtags can be made completely from 100% recycled paper.Labels from recycled material >

• PRODUCE MONO-MATERIAL PRODUCTS
  Making or selling products from natural fibers like wool, cotton or hemp? Choose a label of (organic) cotton. For products from synthetic materials it’s best to choose a polyester label. This way you keep the recycling-stream “clean”.Labels from 100% organic cotton >
• INSTRUCT YOUR CUSTOMER
