END-OF-LIFE TREATMENT FACILITATE SORTING AND RECYCLABILITY :

Recycling, biodegradation, upcycling, downcycling −Spinneret, cradle to cradle

DISTRIBUTION OPTIMIZE PACKAGING REDUCE WEIGHT AND VOLUME:

Reduced, adapted, less polluting, reusable and recyclable packaging. −Mode of transport, optimized logistics, local supplies

Production portion of lifecycle LIMIT LOSSES, WASTE, HARMFUL SUBSTANCES AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION:

Reduction of volume, mass, rationalization −Optimize production techniques: fewer steps, lower energy consumption, clean technology, Best AvalaibleTechnologies (BAT), reduce consumption of consumables and waste, which must be the least polluting.

Global Fiber Production

SUSTAINABLE TREATMENTS

Technology consuming less water, with less or less dangerous chemical inputs, less energy consumption (lower temperatures, RE, heat exchanger) Favour mechanical processes over chemical and/or wet processes. -Prefer plied yarns to yarns with finishes, nonwovens -Optimize the number of treatments that are really necessary and favour continuous treatments. - enzymatic plasma treatment

leather alternatives

Vegetable tannins: tara, mimosa, quebracho, chestnut. The other stages of the process still consume the usual chemicals used in chrome tanning. Optimization of water consumption, and waste water, and lower chemical inputs thanks to new, more efficient equipment: The label awarded, after audit by the Leather Working Group, is a first guarantee(different levels: gold, silver, bronze) including environmental impacts, well-being and working conditions, and is aligned with the ZDHC. Oeko-Tex Leather Standard tested harmful chemicals throughout the chain

Organic Content Standard

applies to any non-food product containing 95 to 100% organic matter. it follows the flow of raw materials, from the origin to the finished product

"Organic Textiles" Label

at least 95% of fibers from organic farming and a maximum of 5% of synthetic or artificial fibers. Organic Textiles - only on organic, not on social or quality of product

bamboo fiber is not

bamboo viscose greenwashing!

Oeko-TexDetox to Zero

based on the DETOX campaign of Greenpeace whose objective is to exclude dangerous chemicals. It provides textile and leather producers with an analysis and evaluation tool that creates transparency and control in the use of dangerous substances.

The RCS (Recycled Claim Standard)

chain of custody standard for tracking recycled raw materials from one end of the supply chain to the other.

sustainable distribution solutions

electroslip hopal

Adapta

finds for the creators ,the high-end leathers that stay in the stocks of luxury houses and associated suppliers and ensures high quality selection, and its professionalism, impeccable follow-up.

Blue Sign, international label for textiles

guarantees that no toxic or carcinogenic substance was used during production and sets binding criteria in terms of energy and water consumption, and waste and quality management air. There are also social criteria, based on the ILO conventions for the textile industry.

eko-TexMADE IN GREEN

guarantees that textiles and leathers do not contain undesirable substances, but also that manufacturers respect strict ecological production standards.

OekoTex100

guarantees the non-toxicity of a garment for health, in accordance with European REACH regulations throughout the production chain. It incorporates some social criteria.

Oeko-TexSTeP

implements environmentally friendly production processes that improve health and safety and promote socially responsible working conditions.

Eco-design

integrates the environment from the design of a product and during all stages of its life cycle while preserving its rendered service Decide the actions to be implemented between the product that we want to achieve and its environmental impacts

Global Recycle Standard (GRS)

international and voluntary standard which establishes the criteria for certification by third parties of recycled content (minimum 50%), chain of custody, social and environmental practices and restrictions on chemical composition.

The textiles system operates in an almost completely linear way

large amounts of non-renewable resources are extracted to produce clothes that are often used for only a short time, after which the materials are mostly sent to landfill or incinerated.

FOCUS ON RENEWABLE AND RECYCLED ORGANIC RESOURCES :

less toxic, renewable, recycled, recyclable, natural -Requires less fossil fuel inputs, chemicals, land use, water consumption and non-renewables

Textiles made from organic fibers

minimum of 70% organic fibers, and no more than 10% synthetic or artificial fibers, up to 25% for footwear or sports articles.

HIGG Index, by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition

offers a unique and standardized tool that measures the environmental performance of textile and footwear products. the Higg Index consists of three tools: - the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI), - the Higg Designers and Developers Module (DDM) and - the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM).

modal

om beech, uses more chemicals but less toxic, and less water. More resistant fiber.

BCI (Better Cotton Initiative)

operates in a business-to-consumer approach by developing standards and verifying compliance by self-assessment of these standards in order to ensure sustainable cotton production practices among these members. By mechanical recycling: during the manufacturing process, the scraps are frayed (up to 2% of elasthanepossible), then spun again, mixed in view of their reduced length with virgin fibers, without additional consumption of water or chemical inputs. By chemical recycling: process still in an experimental state. See SaXcell, Renewal, LoncelF and Evrnu. BCI - controversial - many fields which were organic are now labeled BCI - BCI is less strict BCI is not very strict - security, respect of conditions is not good Ideal would be 60% GOTS, 40% recycled? Cotton

ZDHC or Zero Discharge Hazardous Chemicals

program taking holistically into account the problem of chemical substances in the textile and leather sector in order to eliminate them on the basis of an MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List), a guide to compliance, quality discharged water, an audit protocol, R&D, available and shared data, training.

2002, ISO / TR 14062 the AFNOR standard

specifies that eco-design aims to "integrate environmental aspects into

eco-designed product

the company must be able to "provide relevant, significant, verifiable and actual elements demonstrating that it has implemented an eco-design approach

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

the main international standard for textiles produced from organic fibers. - strict environmental criteria for the entire supply chain -social aspect (compliance with ILO conventions such as freedom of association, living wages, non-employment of children ...) -conformity (shrinkage) -and quality (color retention) criteria GOTS -- not just organic, but also social criteria and quality - very complete - all steps of production

acetate

with a silky aspect, can come from different sources (cotton, wood pulp, even synthetic fibers). High consumption of energy and chemicals. Sourcing possible from renewable raw materials and biodegradable finished product.
