WEE CARE

ECONOMIC CIRCUIT

Our vision is to make new clothes out of old clothes. This works particularly well with synthetic fibers because they decompose much more slowly than natural fibers. In the future, old clothes should therefore be our new raw material. However, there is still a long way to go before we can produce new yarns from old polyester fabrics. Until then we are producing a large part of our fibers from recycled plastic bottles. Control Union controls the supply chain and certifies the resulting fibers with the Global Recycle Standard so that really second hand purchases are made.

DRINKING WATER WITHOUT CHEMICALS

Polluted waters, polluted air and polluted soils - the global environmental pollution as a result of human activities is shown  to us more and more clearly and reduces our quality of life.

Bluesign certifies textile production that is gentle on water and soil - especially with regard to the chemicals used, which would otherwise have ended up in the water and thus in the soil and air. If these chemicals are not used from the start, they cannot end up in the wastewater either.

PFC FREE PRODUCTION

Exactly: PFC, for example, is a chemical that for a long time ensured that wastewater got into nature, which has poisoned the soil and drinking water. PFC contains phthalates that have been proven to be carcinogenic. They are difficult to separate from water and cause developmental damage to those who ingest it. 
We wanted an alternative and have consistently opted for PFC-free production. The impregnation that makes our fabrics breathable is made of Eco-Teflon. Zelan ™ R3 is made from 60% renewable, plant-based raw materials, with non-genetically modified organisms (GMO) and without substances from the food chain. Zelan ™ R3 is certified as a bio-based product by the USDA.

TESTED FREE OF POLLUTIONS

Why Oeko Tex? Better safe than sorry! If a textile article has been awarded the STANDARD 100 label, you can be sure that all components, including all threads, buttons and other accessories, have been tested for harmful substances. The product is certified according to the OekoTex standard and is therefore harmless to health. 

LATEST TECHNOLOGIES

When Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, part of his equipment consisted of 3M products. Today 3M innovations can be found in almost all areas of life, the world of work, medicine and technology. No wonder, 51 basic technologies, 8,100 researchers and over 120,000 registered patents…. 3M invests over $ 1 billion annually in research and development. We can't, but we can ask for this offer, because only knowledge, experience and interdisciplinary thinking can solve the demanding tasks of our time.

FAIR TRADE

The key word here are the production conditions under which production takes place. It is nowhere near enough to just buy innovative technologies! Our workers are the ones who love our products. That's why they have to have a good life. Otherwise love won't work. In our factories there are canteens, e-scooters as company vehicles, occupational safety and social security. 
Last but not least: a comparably above-average pay. The factories are certified by the BSCI standard.
Maintaining relationships with our sewers, sample technicians and factory owners is a top priority for us. That too has a lot to do with the love for our products!
