Fabrics Memo
We are mindful that if the planet is to have a future, it needs protecting. Last year, we launched a plan of ambitious goals and initiatives for 2021-2023 covers five main areas: the eco-friendly product design, the social and environmental traceability, the environmental footprint of transport and packaging, the store design, and the responsible corporate governance. SUNCOO continues its efforts by developing more and more responsible pieces included in the The Future is Now capsule.
What is an eco-friendly design?
This means the main fabric used in the clothing is recycled, organic or sustainable. At SUNCOO, we consider a style to be environmentally responsible if the main fabric is one of these three things.
One area where the fashion industry has a major impact is its use of fabrics that require a lot of space, water and chemicals to grow and process. This classification groups fabrics based on their environmental impact.
At SUNCOO, 27% of our styles currently have eco-friendly designs. We aim to reach at least 50% by the end of 2023.
More information about the materials used :
Recycled polyester
The recycled polyester GRS certified needs less energy than the traditional polyester for its production. Often made from revalued plastic bottles, the use of recycled polyester minimizes the environmental impacts by recycling waste and reduce ecological footprint.
Organic cotton
The organic cotton cultivation needs less water and no chemicals products to grow. Its impact is considered as 90% cleaner than classic cotton.
Lyocell
It’s a 100% cellulosic biodegradable fiber, made from eucalyptus pulp. Its production respects the environment by using solvent-free and recycle solvents.
OEKO Tex certified
When the piece has OEKO TEX certified, it is understood that the special inks and dyes used for this model use no materials which give off harmful substances for both environment and humans.
Viscose
Responsible viscose is a material made from wood pulp from certified and sustainably managed forests.
Eco Vero
Eco Vero generates 50% less emissions and 50% less water consumption compared to traditional viscose.
Viscose FSC
It’s an international label guaranteeing that woods come from sustainably managed forests.
