Sustainability is a key priority for us and we are committed to working closely with suppliers who share the same commitment, offering fabric ranges which allow for sustainable choices to be made and can be recycled at the end of life. Our selection processes factor in environmental concerns, quality standards and social responsibility.
Our fabric offering includes ranges made with recycled PET bottles, including bottles from sea waste. The bottles are sent to a recycling factory, where they are shredded into flakes, processed into chips and then extruded into filaments. This is then turned into yarn ready for weaving.
• Oceanic from Camira is part of the SEAQUAL Initiative, designed to combat marine plastic pollution and achieve
a waste free environment. Oceanic is woven from yarn containing sea waste and each metre contains the equivalent of 26 plastic bottles, playing an important part in reducing the waste that reaches both our landfills and our oceans.
• Sealife from Inloom is a cross-functional yarn created entirely from post-consumer recycled plastics, woven from a blend of 50% SEQUAL yarn created from plastics collected from the oceans and beaches, and 50% recycled polyester yarn created from recycled PET bottles from land waste. For every 50M roll of Sealife produced, 12kg of marine litter is removed from our oceans.
• Earthly from Chieftain - is a luxurious fabric is made from 100% recycled fibres and is cradle to cradle certified. It is manufactured entirely from waste textiles. Textiles which may otherwise have gone to landfill. All the recycled yarns (100% recycled cotton and polyester) used in its creation are certified to the Global Recycled Standard. The GRS is internationally recognised, widely understood, trusted, and respected by consumers. It verifies the recycled content of products in every step of the value chain through third-party certification.
• VerdEco from Agua – is their first sustainable fabric. It’s crafted entirely from preconsumer textile waste otherwise destined for landfill, which is then recycled into granules, spun into yarn, and finally re-woven; this is all done using zero water (in fact, upholstering a three-seat sofa in VerdEco saves on average 250 litres of the stuff).
• Renewed loop from Gabriel – is designed to eliminate waste. The waste age calls for pioneering solutions and innovative design that address the challenges of textile waste. As we all enter a new era of recycling, it is time to leave the throwaway culture behind, embrace waste as a valuable resource, and develop new ways to recycle materials again and again.
The quest to reduce textile waste and save resources, Gabriel have found a way to close the loop and transform textile waste into new textile products. Loop is a revolutionary take-back system, and a new category of products based on recycled textile waste – also called textile-to-textile recycling.
By recycling waste into new textiles that can be recycled again and again, creating a circular system – a closed textile loop – that reduces waste generation, conserves natural resources, and contributes to lowering CO2 emissions.
