RECYCLE

Means give new purpose to materials whether they are used, re-used, regenerated or recycled.
Since 2016 we have pioneered the usage of recycled materials, believing that wasted plastic bottles can be turned into a new and equally performant raw material and we haven’t stopped since then to research and develop other accessible sources of recycled materials to implement in other steps of the process.

REUSE

Durability is also a matter of choice: use multiple time before replace. Our fabric is engineered to resist in time, with high durability properties and low maintenance required to keep the colors bright, the stretch and fitting properties unchanged.

REDUCE

Is about creating less waste.
We have optimized our production cycle from the mainstream, by choosing regenerated materials. We have implemented standardized control at any step of the process to control unecessary waste generation. We use energy but we also create energy that we recover and with a daily basis data record we don’t miss a thing.
