The criteria of our ecodesign approach

How does it work?
The plastic bottles are cleaned and shredded into flakes. These are then poured and melted, turning into a paste. The paste is transformed into filament thanks to an extrusion screw. This filament is then spun around a reel, creating the recycled polyester thread!

Why this choice?
Using recycled polyester filaments enables us to reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the yarn by at least 17% compared to using virgin polyester.

How does it work?
Polyamide, also known as nylon, is used in textiles for its flexibility and lightweight attributes, offering optimal comfort during intense activities due to its excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.

Why this choice?
Using recycled polyamide rather than conventional polyamide reduces the CO2 emissions linked to the material by at least 38%.

How does it work?
We recycle cotton from our production waste to reduce our waste and the use of virgin cotton. We extract the fibres to form a new thread. However the share of recycled cotton in a product can only be a maximum of 40% because recycled fibres are too short and have to be combined with new fibres.

Why this choice?
Using these recycled cotton fibres enables us to reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the thread by at least 14% compared to using virgin cotton.

How does it work?
Organic cotton is grown with seeds that are free of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and without the use of pesticides whilst the crops are growing. Instead, farmers use natural fertilisers on the land and natural pest control to repel harmful insects.

Why this choice?
By using organically grown cotton fibres, we can reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the thread by at least 23% compared to the use of conventional cotton.

How does it work?
To produce thread required for manufacturing fabric, we place polyester, in paste form, into a barrel. Equipped with a very narrow hole at its extremity, an endless screw (called an extrusion screw) forces the material to come out of the barrel in a thin filament.

At the same time as the polyester paste, we insert colour pigments in powder form. So when extruding the yarn, it comes out coloured and ready to use for designing our products.

Why this choice?
Using this dyeing process in the mass enables us to reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the dyed textile by at least 17% compared to conventional dyeing.

How does it work?
The "Dry Dyed" process is a dry dyeing method. It involves using CO2, brought to a specific pressure and temperature, to give the gas fabric dyeing properties without using water.

Why this choice?
Using this dyeing process enables us to reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the dyed textile by at least 39% compared to conventional dyeing.

How does it work?
Artificial fibers are produced from wood pulp (primarily eucalyptus, but also oak or birch)

Why this choice?
By using artificial fibers, we can reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the thread by at least 6% compared to the use of conventional cotton.

How does it work?
The term "greige" refers to a textile that hasn't been dyed or treated after weaving. It's a combination of "grey" and "beige," reflecting the fabric's neutral, untreated color.

Why this choice?
Due to the absence of additional treatments or dyeing, greige fabrics have a reduced environmental impact.
It enables us to reduce CO2 emissions linked to the production of undyed textiles by at least 53% compared to conventional dyeing.

How does it work?
We collect plastics from production waste and end-of-life materials to recycle them. This involves shredding them into small pieces and melting them into a paste. Once in paste form, it is possible to inject it into a mould of the desired shape.

How does it work?
From ore extraction to transformation into finished products, the industrial production of metals is highly polluting. To reduce our environmental impact, we design products from recycled metal.
This approach reduces the need for extracting new raw materials, uses 40% to 95% less energy, and cuts CO2 emissions by at least 10% compared to virgin metals.
Recycled metal comes from the recycling of scrap metal. After a process of sorting, cleaning, and crushing, the scrap is remelted and refined to obtain a material of comparable quality to virgin metal.
