WHAT IS
SUSTAINABLE FASHION?
Sustainable fashion encompasses clothing, shoes, and accessories that are produced, marketed, and used in the most environmentally and socio-economically responsible manner.
Fast Fashion Facts,Did You Know?
90% of dye houses and textile manufacturers
Release their waste directly into local freshwater sources in developing countries.
Emits five times more CO2
Compared to the aviation sector, which produces 10% of global carbon emissions.
9.5 trillion liters of water
Annually, the fashion industry contributes to 20% of industrial water pollution.
Sweatshops = Substandard Working Conditions
Long hours with low pay, dusty and overheated environments, limited personal freedom, and exposure to harmful dyes.
Pesticides
They impact not only soil and water but also the animals that reside in those ecosystems.
Cotton cultivation
Crops that require more pesticides than any other, along with synthetic dyes that are often toxic, ultimately contaminate water sources.
A significant amount of fossil fuels
Are consumed not only in cotton production but also in its transportation from the growing regions, its transformation into fabrics and clothing, and its final sale.
80 BILLION
Every year, a wide range of clothing is used worldwide.
150 BILLION
Each year, garments end up in landfills.
In fact, the fashion industry is the second-largest polluter globally!

FIND
MATERIAL AND TECHNOLOGY
This is a key aspect of our process: we carefully choose each fabric based on its environmental impact and long-term durability. We exclusively utilize Class A and B fibers and are committed to continually seeking out the most responsible materials and technologies available. This means we use only natural, renewable, recycled, biodegradable, or low-impact textiles.
100% COTTON
“100% cotton” signifies that the fabric is unblended and made from a natural product with fibers sourced directly from the cotton plant, providing strength, softness, and comfort.
At Sustainme, we work with a range of stakeholders across the cotton supply chain to promote meaningful and ongoing improvements in environmental sustainability, the welfare of farming communities, and the economies of cotton-producing regions.
By purchasing this garment, you support sustainable cotton farming practices and the livelihoods of cotton farmers.
ORGANIC COTTON
We use GOTS-certified organic cotton, and those four letters represent a significant commitment to both you and the planet. This collection is made from carefully chosen, chemical-free organic cotton cultivated along the Aegean Sea. Renowned for its exceptional softness and durability, this cotton ranks among the finest in the world. The GOTS certification also guarantees that the workers involved in producing these garments receive fair wages and are treated with dignity.
PIMA COTTON
Pima cotton is recognized as one of the highest-quality cotton varieties, known for its exceptional durability and absorbency.
Its long fibers make Pima cotton soft to the touch and resistant to fraying, tearing, pilling, wrinkling, and fading.
Pima cotton production tends to have a lower environmental impact compared to other cotton types. Unlike most cotton, which is harvested by machine, Pima cotton is typically handpicked. This method preserves the integrity of the fibers, reduces waste, and minimizes the overall environmental footprint of the fabric.
RECYCLED COTTON BLEND
Recycling is the process of transforming used materials (waste) into new, valuable products, which helps reduce the demand for raw materials.
For this collection, we are using 100% recycled blends of cotton, polyester, nylon, and viscose.
LENZING TENCEL
TENCEL fibers play a vital role in maintaining environmental balance by being integrated into nature’s cycle.
TENCEL Lyocell and Modal fibers help uphold this balance, originating from renewable wood materials produced through photosynthesis. These certified biobased fibers are created through an environmentally responsible process and are certified as compostable and biodegradable, enabling them to completely return to nature.
