Closing the loop
There have also been drives by brands to create programmes to ensure a truly closed loop when it comes to apparel. Everywhere Apparel, dedicated to creating data-enabled sustainable materials, launched the
world’s first closed loop blank apparel line made of 100% GRS-Certified recycled cotton. Mechanically recycled cotton is the most sustainable apparel fibre in the world along multiple measures when compared to conventional or organic cotton and recycled or virgin polyester. Each shirt is equipped with QR codes enabling customers to receive a free mailer and send apparel back for recycling into new products. For companies looking to improve their sustainability and circularity profile, adopting this closed loop system as a white labelled solution is as simple as purchasing Everywhere Apparel blank garments and requires no additional client investment or setup.
“Everywhere Apparel exists to create maximum positive impact for the environment, which is why we chose to open source our Closed Loop system free of charge and make the technology available to anyone interested.” said Irys Kornbluth, Co-CEO at Everywhere Apparel. “By launching with a focus on the blank apparel industry we ensure this innovative approach to sustainability has the broadest possible reach.”
