Why is this garment a more ecological option?

The production of new material always consumes natural resources. Using 100% recycled material with the Pure Waste method produces 99% less water footprint and 50% less carbon footprint than a similar product made from a new raw material.

Water footprint: 1,9 liters 

Carbon footprint: 1,7 kg CO2e 

Production is GRS certified (Global Recycled Standard).

What about ethics then?

Employees are paid a living wage that exceeds the minimum wage. The employees are of legal age and everyone has an employment contract, as well as access to healthcare and commuting. Working hours and occupational safety are taken care of.

Dimensions

The shirt is a unisex model, so please check the dimensions in the table. For women, a size smaller than usual is usually best.

In the size chart, the dimensions are those of the garment. Half chest is used because it is easy to measure from something already found in the closet clothing to facilitate comparison.
