🇳🇱 In an interview with the KLM Flying Dutchman Magazine, member brand Schijvens Corporate Fashion spoke on the role Fair Wear has played in making ethics and sustainability two fundamental pillars of their company 📈In the past ten and a bit years, Schijvens has shown exceptional progress on Fair Wear performance indicators — taking its sustainability commitments seriously Their approach caught KLM’s eye, and in 2023, Schijvens won a contract to supply clothing to all KLM employees. Being a Fair Wear member adds substantial value to Schijvens in multiple facets, not only supporting the brand to achieve its ethical objectives but also strengthening its market position, particularly in the realm of public procurement where ethical practices are increasingly paramount. As owner Shirley Schijvens says, “People always seem to be surprised that I have taken such drastic steps, but for me, it is baffling that people can ignore certain working conditions in favour of buying cheap clothes.” We're paving the way so that more brands can take Schijvens’ approach to making clothing fairer — if you’re a garment brand looking to make your supply chain more sustainable, get in touch! https://lnkd.in/efs7sKEr #Schijvens #FairWearFoundation #KLM #sustainablefashion #garmentindustry

WE HAVE GREAT NEWS 🤩 As the first fashion brand in Norway, AWAN (As We Are Now) will now measure and offset the carbon footprint of each apparel item you purchase from us in our online store! We are so excited to enter into this important collaboration with sustainability platform & fellow Antler alumni company sustie. By offsetting each purchase in our online store with the estimated C02 footprint we are one giant step closer to circularity in fashion 🙏 🌿 Because we have no time to lose! The fashion industry is one of the worst offenders when it comes to sustainability. 85% of all our clothes end up in landfills, and over 60% of all our clothes are made from plastic, filling our seas and rivers with toxic microplastics that get back into our bodies through what we eat. With a fashion concept & business model built on circular principles, AWAN is already a best-in-case brand. Our ENTIRE collection is made from 100% biodegradable fabric from certified wood fibers, made in a closed loop process without any toxic chemicals. And we are perfecting an On-Demand production & sales cycle that drastically reduces overproduction. BUT there is still much to be done to close the loop. Thankfully new EU regulations will come into effect by 2030 to help regulate consumption and overproduction, forcing the industry towards a circular economy. BUT WHY WAIT 6 YEARS TO CREATE THE CHANGE OUR PLANET NEEDS NOW.

A few months ago, I announced a test of the most sustainable “technical”  running shoes on the planet.   For the moment smaller concept brands like Circle, Winqs and Veja are doing a really good job. But its good to see the bigger Brands like Salomon and especially ON with their #cyclon program are investing seriously in high performance circularity. Circle on the other hand stands out with their European production and choices of materials. The Merino upper, outsole and even laces are 100% bio-sourced. The midsole however is always the difficult part. Here they must rely on #arkema PLNT Foam which is 50% bio sourced from castor beans.   That was the good news… the tricky part is how “ runnable” are those planet savers…?  Therefore, I could call on Runners’ lab ( #prolab ) The end result for all models :  there is still some work on the stability part and most of the eco friendly foams feel quite heavy and hard.   We are waiting and ready for an eco-friendlier running environment. Let’s see what the future brings … #runnerslab #sustainablerunning #onrunning #cloudneo #circlesportswear #supernaturalrunner #winqs #salomon #veja #top5
