We did it: Circular workwear and 100% plastic-free!
WHY BLUE LOOP WORKWEAR?
The clothing industry is at a breaking point, and the environment is paying the price. The unlimited and fast-paced production, use and disposal of clothes leads to depletion of resources, plastic soup and pollution of ground and water. This has to change!
In our search for a solution to overproduction and overconsumption, we came into contact with the champions of circularity: Lenzing Group in Austria. Since 2011, we have been working on giving worn clothing and textile waste a second life in new Blue LOOP Originals apparel. And now, 11 years on, we have created a completely circular solution for workwear.
OUR ‘ZERO PLASTIC’ PROMISE
Plastic is everywhere in our lives. Just check the label in your clothes. Do they contain polyester? We are making you a ‘zero plastic’ promise! This way, we prevent being part of global (micro) plastic pollution. Good for the environment and healthier for you, the wearer!
For our zero-plastic workwear, we maintain a strictly circular design and production philosophy. Keeping our ecological footprint low, and making sure our apparel does not end up in landfill by giving it a second life as raw materials for new Blue LOOP Workwear.
Join us in the fight against the ever-growing mountain of textile waste!
Blue LOOP Originals launches its workwear collection featuring fabrics made from:
ORGANIC COTTON
We use GOTS certified organic cotton from Greece. Not only does it ensure that the plants are grown organically, it also requires environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing.
REFIBRA
The pioneering REFIBRA™ technology involves upcycling cotton scraps and our worn out Blue LOOP Workwear. These cotton scraps are mixed with wood pulp from eucalyptus trees, a renewable raw material that comes from sustainably managed forests, to produce new virgin TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers to make Blue LOOP Workwear
RECYCLED COTTON
We use post-industrial cotton waste to avoid textile waste to be disposed in landfills or to be incinerated.
TRANSPARENCY
We know all of our partners through and through and know how our products are made. This allows us to calculate the exact ecological footprint. You may call that 100% transparency; we call it normal.
