SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR DNA

If you want to make a difference, you need to do things differently.
At FashionPower we act in such a manner and do all things in a more sustainable way. Why? Because we value our people & planet.

We strive to avoid the exhaustion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance. We only choose environmentally friendly solutions like the usage of used coffee grounds, dope dye and recycled polyester. We use coffee grounds waste product to add the following functionalities to our garments such as a higher UV-protection,
odour-reduction, dry-coolness and breathability.

Why use a chemical solution? We all know, nature knows best.

SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR DNA

RECYCLED POLYESTER

We’re all familiar with the look, feel, and quality of polyester. Functional polyester is the perfect fabric for high-quality sportswear.

Polyester made from plastic bottles and waste fabric can also be used to make new functional sports and corporate wear. Doing this helps to reduce the “waste mountain”. And what’s more, this method doesn’t require the use of large amounts of oil. The resulting fabric is no different from regular polyester – it looks and feels the same.

The use of recycled polyester helps to reduce:

  • The “ Waste mountain ”
  • Co2 emissions
  • Energy consumption
  • Oil consumption

COFFEE YARN

Coffee! We’ve been enjoying it for centuries.

But did you know you can also enjoy the benefits of your daily coffee long after you’ve drained your cup?

We use carbonised coffee grounds as a natural alternative to chemicals, by adding it to yarns or by treating fabrics, it enhances the functionality of our collections. It’s an ideal solution for activewear, outdoor clothing or corporate wear. These choices reduce the amount of chemicals we use and support the recycling process.

The added functional benefits of using carbonised coffee grounds are:

  • Dry-Cool / moisture regulation
  • UV protection / 40%- 50% UPV
  • Odour control / 75% - 95% reduction
  • Breathable

SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR DNA

DOPE DYE

One of the biggest causes of pollution within the fashion industry is the use of traditional dyeing methods. We want to change this. That’s why we use a colouring technique called dope dye.

In dope dyeing, colour pigments and polymer pellets are combined using heat and melted directly into the yarn as it is spun.

We use the Dope Dye method to add colour to our products with a beneficial effect that the actual colour will not fade, even after numerous times of washing.

Dope Dye uses 90% less water than the technique used to dye cotton, and 50–60% less water when compared to other traditional dyeing methods. It reduces CO2 emissions by 60% and uses 60% less energy and chemicals.

The dope dye process has significant eco-friendly advantages over traditional techniques:

  • Requires almost no water
  • Produces no chemical-laden wastewater
  • Uses less energy
  • Uses 60% less chemicals
  • Reduction of Co2 emission
  • Enhances colour fastness

SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR DNA

CIRCULAR

We want to reduce the use of fossil grounds, minimize waste and environmental impact. When start designing we look for longevity and recyclability; one product should become a new product in future. Our products can be recycled, the consumer should bear this is mind when the item is finished for use.

SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR DNA
