Recycled plastic

One ton of recycled plastic saves 800kg of oil, which represents the annual energy consumption of two persons and their water consumption over one month.

Recycled PET

Choosing recycled materials enables to limit carbon emissions and to save energy consumption. With two plastic bottles one scarf can be made, and a pull-over can be made out of 27 bottles!  By using recycled PET, 60% of energy needed to produce new PET can be saved.

Recycled leather

Pieces of cow leather are patched up with a natural latex that gives an original aspect to the products.

Recycled paper

One ton of paper saves 1.3 tons of wood, which corresponds to the annual energy consumption of one person as well as his or her water consumption over 2 months.

Natural material / Hemp

This very resistant plant is fast growing and does not require any herbicides or pesticides. It makes no waste as all parts of the plant are used (its seeds, oil, fibres…)

Natural material / Organic cotton

Organic cotton that is grown without any harmful chemicals is a solution to the problems emanating from the use of pesticides such as worker’s health problems.  24% of the world’s total pesticide consumption is applied to conventional cotton crops, although these only account for 2.5% of global farming land. Considering that fields are treated up to 30 times per harvest cycle.

Natural material / Linen or flax

The production of this fibre requires little pesticides and fertilizers. The linen fabric woven from a the high quality natural fibres is hypoallergenic and thermo regulating (insulating in winter, breathable in summer).

Natural material / Bamboo

The fast growing bamboo can be used for its wood or its fibres. It does not require any pesticides and prevents soil erosion. Moreover its production requires 4 times less water than cotton.

Natral material / Jute

Jute is a plant that needs no pesticides and its transformation into hessian cloth is done without chemicals. Besides this material is totally biodegradable.

Natural material / Fair Trade

 ‘Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity’ (Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

Max havelaar labbelled products are regularly inspected by FLO-CERT, which is an independent certification body, in order to ensure that the fair trade criteria are respected: a decent income for farmers, respect for their health and nature.

Corn starch

Technology at the service of the environment. The environmental benefits of bio-plastics  made from renewable biomass sources is undeniable: they are  biodegradable, renewable and reduce carbon emissions by 30 to 70% in comparison to plastics from petroleum.

Green energy / hydraulic enregy

How does hydrolic energy work ? Simply thanks to water. Two metal electrodes are immersed into water producing energy by electrochemical reactions.

Natural material/wood

Some European regions are densely wooded. Therefore Wood exploitation can contribute to regenerate those forests. For exotic wood, the FSC ( Forest Stewardship Council) has set terms regarding forest exploitation according to ecological and social criteria. Those criteria have to be respected to be able to obtain the FCS label.

Green energy/ Solar energy

Solar energy is generated by transforming sunlight energy into electricity. This energy enables to limit pollution from heavy metals present in batteries.

Green energy / dynamo

Dynamo changes energy of movement into electrical energy.
