SUSTAINABILITY & CIRCULARITY

OUR DNA

Why do we do what we do?

The foundation of our brand is rooted in authenticity. Authenticity in self, authenticity in purpose and authenticity in all of life’s expression. Authenticity exams the relationship of the individual within the world and the complex play together and against each other. It is a play on the self versus the world, the present versus the future or the past versus reality and their effects on each other.

Authenticity is the level to which a person’s actions are aligned with his or her values and desires, despite external pressures to social conventionalism.

In sustainability, society is forced to examine its past and how it has brought them to their present. The effects of its actions take center stage for all to view. They are pushed to examine their past and present actions and their effects on the world and society around them. Through sustainability, we shift from the world of our past, with no morals and purpose and we create meaning. Sustainability is taking full responsibility for our life, choices and actions and authenticity is just that.

 

RECYCLABLE JEANS

All things come full circle, beginning where they ended. Circularity focuses on resource cycles, waste not, and want not. It begins with design then moving into the development of products that take into consideration the products end of life. New products are made from waste, instead of raw materials, lowering environmental impact. Our denim is designed to be recyclable and made with as many recycled products as possible. Our goal is to become100% circular.

TRIMS

We have removed all the metal rivets and have designed custom removable shanks (a.k.a buttons) which are constructed with 100% recycled copper and recycled zinc alloy. The end user can remove the shank, recycle or up-cycle it (along with the fabric). We have also created custom sunglass and spec holders for each jean, made from 100% recycled copper. Our future is bright, as I am sure yours is as well.

LABELS

To lower our environmental impact, we have removed all excess labels. All of our labels and product information are incorporated into each design, directly being printed on each jean. We have selected water-based paints that are environmentally friendly.

CHEMICALS

Blacks, endless shades of blacks, black denim is the inspiration for our brand. Do not worry, there will be some prolific indigo denims, along with beautiful natural Ecru jeans as well. However, being born in Black, we wanted to make Black the new Green. We exclusively use sustainable Italian chemicals, which are developed specifically for use on denim. The process for bleaching and stone washing black denim has never been sustainable. Through the use of this chemical, we are able to save water from processing times, through lower water temperatures and time savings. This process reduces the amount of non environmentally friendly chemicals, saves energy, preserves the fabric integrity and improves the hand feel of each jean. For our Indigo jeans, we use a revolutionary chemical, which replaces the use the very environmentally harmful Potassium Permanganate through Ozone activation. Saving the integrity of the fabric, it is GOTS and OKEO Tex Certified. We are able to lighten denim, without damaging our Eco system.

FABRICS

Remedy exclusively incorporates fabrics from sustainable mills in Italy and Turkey. Being the most important element of our story, we are very strategic in selecting the best partners for our ideology. Without their innovations and support, we would be unable to conceive our goals. We are forever grateful to them. Our mills support the Life Cycle Assessment as a tool for designing and developing sustainability. By using approximately 20% recycled content in denim, we can save an estimated 450 to 750 liters of water (120-200 gallons), per jean. By using only 20% recycled cotton in cotton blends, we can potentially save a minimum of 450 million liters (120 million gallons) of water per jean. The use of organic cotton can lead to a 43% reduction on global warming, 15% reduction on freshwater use, 77% reduction on abiotic depletion, 26% on eutrophication and 42% on land use.

The core of our fabrics include:

Hemp

One of our favored fibers, hemp, is a cellulose-based fiber, it is naturally more durable and more water absorbent than cotton. In naturally enhancing soil health, hemp mainly sustains itself through rain. It can grow healthily without the use of herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and generates twice as much fiber per area than cotton. The best and most important attribute is that it does not require any genetically modified seeds to grow.

TENCEL™ Lyocell

This infamously soft luxurious fiber is created from wood pulp. The forests used for growing this cellulose fiber are sustainably managed and manufactured in closed loop production with recycled water while reusing the solvents. This avoids waste and results in less water consumption.

Organic Cotton

100% OCS and Organic Certified, this is one of our main fibers. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, minimize the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers and help to build biologically diverse agriculture. Third party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production. Organic cotton prohibits the use of genetically modified seeds. In organic cotton cultivation, natural organic fertilizers such as organic manure, composed leaves, stalks and roots are used instead of chemical fertilizers to meet the requirement of cotton fiber growth.

Recycled Cotton

As an alternative to virgin cotton, recycled cotton is obtained from post-consumer textile waste, which is derived from garments, upholstery, towels and many other household items. This action saves a great deal of products from entering landfills, lowering the social impact on the environment.

Reused Cotton

As with recycled cotton, reused cotton is regarded as specifically pre-consumer waste. It is obtained from the production waste of spinners, weavers, and garment manufacturers. This is usually yarn or excess fabric found on factory floors, it is ultimately converted into yarns.

Recycled Polyester

As we try to be as natural as possible, we try out best to limit the amount of artificial fibers we use in our production. We use a small amount of recycled polyester, which stems from 100% post-consumer ocean plastic.

Recycled Elastane

The world’s first 100% recycled and GRS certified recycled stretch yarn developed exclusively for our mill in Italy, recycled elastane offers maximum stretch and high recovery. Our recycled elastane is compromised of customized ROICA T Melastomer, which is derived from pre consumer recycled material.

PRODUCTION PARTNERS

Our primary goal is to develop and nurture partnerships with individuals and corporations sharing the same vision for global environmental reform. Through our vast industry experience, we vetted many production facilities all over the globe, until we found the best match for us. Water consumption stands out as the major toxic attribute within the denim industry. As one of the most progressive denim facilities on the planet, our production partner saves four million liters of water each month through their Eco efficient production chain. They are paving the way for smart denim manufacturing, through maintaining minimal wasted energy and water. Having a 100% vertical production chain, they can consciously maintain each step of the process. Equipped with Ozone, Laser and E-Flow machines supplied by Tonello, Brongo and Jeanologia, they can save up to 95% of the water used, reduce 50% of the chemicals used and use 50% less energy versus conventional denim manufacturers. Combined with our sustainable chemicals from Italy, these machines make it one of the most advanced and green facilities on the planet. The more vertical the supply chain, the lower the carbon footprint.

PROFIT SHARING

Chemistry is at the core of individual personal relationships. Each of us have come together through organic connections. We all play a role in each other’s success. In conveying transparency, all team members receive profit sharing.

B-CORP PENDING

In order to be authentic, one must be accountable to themselves and humanity. Showing the world and society that we believe in ourselves and the movement of change we wish to create. That we will remain authentic, and our morals will not falter as we grow. To keep true to our vision, we as a brand have aligned ourselves with BCorporation to unsure we remain a force of positive change and impact. Unification as a collective creates transformation.
