Programme

Sustainable Fabric Sourcing

What the factory actually commits to on sustainable materials, and what it does not claim.

Request A Quote See The Stages

The company's published position is specific and worth quoting rather than paraphrasing: it commits to sharing its sustainability resources with clients and to actively sourcing new sustainable materials tailored to their needs. It does not publish a certification scheme, a recycled content percentage across the range or an emissions figure, so none is stated here. One style in the catalogue is already knitted in 92% recycled nylon.

Stage By Stage

Sustainable Fabric Sourcing In 4 Steps

Requirement

Sustainable means six different things to six buyers.

Define what the destination market and the retailer actually require before the fabric search starts.

Sourcing

A sustainable fabric that no nearby mill can supply is a delay, not a decision.

The sourcing team searches its mill network for qualities that meet the requirement, near the Yiwu factory.

Sampling

Recycled and conventional yarns do not always behave the same in a knitting programme.

A sample is knitted or sewn in the candidate fabric before it is committed to.

Documentation

A claim on a hang tag is only as good as the paperwork behind it.

Supporting documentation comes from the mill supplying the fabric and is passed through per order.

Questions

Sustainable Fabric Sourcing Questions

Do you hold a sustainability certification?
None is published on the source site, so none is claimed here. Documentation for a specific sustainable fabric comes from the mill that supplies it.
Do you already use recycled fibre?
Yes. One seamless style in this catalogue is knitted in 92% recycled nylon and 8% spandex.
Can you source a fabric we have specified?
That is exactly what the sourcing team does. The published commitment is to actively source new sustainable materials tailored to client needs.
What is the factory's social audit?
The factory has passed a BSCI audit and states that buyers are welcome to visit at any time.
