ORGANIC COTTON
We believe that using GOTS certified Turkish Organic Cotton from the Aegean Region for the fabrics is an essential thing as the cotton is grown using well-defined methods and controlled auxiliaries to protect the natural resources such as maintaining soil fertility as well as reduce the harmful impact on the environment by prohibiting the use of synthetic toxic and persistent pesticides.
More than that, organic cotton from Turkey is best known for being finer and softer while wearing.
RECYCLED POLYESTER
The manufacturing of recycled polyester is an important to process as concerned with environmental impact and also inevitable. The recycled polyester has a wide scope of their potential applications similar to virgin polyester. Recycled polyester not only contributes to the reduction of petroleum extraction, but it also requires 59 percent less energy compared to virgin polyester, according to a 2017 study by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment.
We as Evermind, use RCS certified recycled polyester fabrics to be able to help decrease the consumption of petroleum as a source for textiles, reducing waste of resources and emission.
LENZING TENCEL™ Modal
TENCEL™ Modal is a branded lyocell fiber that comes from the pulp of beech trees, sourced from sustainable forests in Austria and neighboring countries which is dissolved in a non-toxic organic solvent. TENCEL™ Modal is produced using a closed loop system which has minimal impact on the environment and maintains economical use of energy and water. Unique physical properties of TENCEL™ Modal fibers lead to their great strength, efficient moisture absorption and gentleness to skin.
YKK NATULON®
NATULON® zippers are a resource-conserving, recycling-oriented product made from PET bottles, old fiber and other polyester remnants. It is the result of a double-layered development system using both chemical and material recycling.
This manufacturing process was carefully designed to reduce negative influences on the environment such as energy consumption, CO2 emission, the use of crude oil and the production of industrial waste. A wise use of resources is vital; it has been predicted that many resources may run out in the future.
YKK ECO-FRIENDLY BUTTONS
YKK's original finishing technology for Snap Fastener Buttons is environmentally friendly, which utilizes the base color of materials and does not involve an electrical plating process.
By not employing an electrical plating process, it is possible to reduce the amount of water and electricity without using hazardous substances such as heavy metals.
