Responsible Textiles

We are gradually shifting our focus to designing clothes made from responsible textiles to counteract the fact that the fashion industry relies heavily on nature's precious resources. Traditional fabric and textile treatments can be harmful to nature, but organic as well as new state-of-the-art materials are emerging that leave a much lighter footprint. MSCH COPENHAGEN is a certified responsible company, which means that our entire supplier chain of production is certified. We currently work with a range of responsible fibres including fibers including TENCEL™ Lyocell, TENCEL™ Modal, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose and and Organic Cotton and we use responsible certificates that include Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Responsible Down Standard (RDS), Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS).

Lyocell

Lyocell


Made from cellulose fibers, which are harvested from fast growing eucalyptus trees that require low water and pesticides to grow. Produced in a closed loop system, where it is possible to reuse almost 100% of chemicals as well as water.

TENCEL™ Lyocell

TENCEL™ Lyocell


TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests.The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource.TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are produced in a closed loop process which recovers 99.8% of the solvent – resulting in close-to-zero wastage.The fibers support a natural dry feeling through moisture control and are naturally soft and smooth to the touch.

Lenzing™ Ecovero™ Viscose

Lenzing™ Ecovero™ Viscose


LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests. The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource. The responsible production of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO² compared to generic viscose fibers, according to Higg MSI*, thereby saving precious resources for future generations. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers certified with the EU Ecolabel for high environmental standards throughout their life cycle*

*Results based on LCA standards (ISO 14040/44) and available via Higg MSI (Version 3.7)*EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001).

Recycled Polyester

Recycled Polyester


Made mainly from recycled PET plastic bottles. The production of recycled polyester does not use oil, which is a scarce resource on our planet, ie. it saves natural resources and energy as well as use of chemicals. It removes plastic from our nature, which might otherwise have ended there. It has a lower CO² emission, and it uses a lot less water to produce than virgin polyester.

Organic Cotton

Organic Cotton


Is grown without the use of chemicals and fertilizers, which means it has a much lower impact on the environment. Uses less water in the long run, as when the soil is rich in natural nutrients it can retain the water better. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production.

Down

Down


Yearly audits performed through all steps of the value chain. Global standard for animal welfare in birds farming. Ensures that the down/feathers come from birds, which have been raised with respect to the five animal freedoms. Ensures that live-plucking and force-feeding is forbidden, and the welfare of the birds are respected at all stages of the life. Ensures traceability to the farm.

Recycled Nylon

Recycled Nylon


Recycled nylon is derived from old nylon products, and a large part comes from old fishing nets. The plastic chips are from recycled materials and not derived directly from coal or petroleum, which means production uses much fewer resources than virgin nylon.

TENCEL™ Modal

TENCEL™ Modal


TENCEL™ Modal fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests.The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource.The fibers are made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic modal* The fibers support a natural dry feeling through moisture control and are naturally soft and smooth to the touch

*Results based on LCA standards (ISO 14040/44) and available via Higg MSI (Version 3.8).

Recycled Wool

Recycled Wool


Recycled wool is derived from wool, which has been shredded and then spun into new yarns ready to make new garments. This process helps reduce the number of garments going into waste after use and gives the wool new life instead.
