Lightweight recycled cotton long shorts
Organic Cotton
Recycled Materials
Environmentally Friendly Dye
We created these Lightweight Long Shorts using a fabric similar to 'French Terry', made from a recycled and organic cotton mix. We used Environmentally Friendly Dyes and a recycled water system to create this vibrant Persimmon Orange. The method uses a dyeing process with low water consumption and treatment of textile effluents, aiming to reuse water during the washing processes.
Impact
Together with Sea Trees, we aim to store CO2 in the most effective way, provide habitats for threatened species and benefit local communities.

More about our technologies
We use materials from plants grown without the use of harmful and toxic pesticides. The organic raw cotton we use holds the transaction certificate from the Control Union, meaning that the yarn is processed according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Over 100 billion items of clothing are being produced every year. Half of it goes to landfills and takes decades to decompose. Over 500 billion plastic bottles are being produced every year. By 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. All textile and plastic waste can be recycled, turned into a yarn and reused over and over again. We develop products made of post consumer recycled materials and plastic bottles. It does not just look good, but most importantly feels good too Created using a recycled water system. We used a dyeing process with low water consumption and treatment of textile effluents, aiming to reuse water during the washing processes. This is a more sustainable, ‘environmentally friendly’ process which uses low toxicity products in order to reduce the generation of effluents, whilst also promoting low water consumption. These selected seven colors have all found their inspiration in nature.Notify me
