Circular economy
What is the Circular Economy?
Motivated by Environment, Devoted to Sustainability
To keep materials and resources in a closed loop, the circular economy takes its cues from the natural world’s cycles. This method cuts down on waste, increases product life, makes better use of existing resources, and removes the need to acquire new ones. By mimicking the natural world’s streamlined procedures, it essentially turns trash from today into resources for the future.
A sustainable and regenerative alternative to the traditional linear model of production, consumption, and waste, the circular economy seeks to maintain materials and goods in an endless cycle of use, recycling, and repurposing.
Breathing New Life into Waste
Our Circular Economy Strategy and Vision:
By reimagining waste in all areas of our company, STS Fashion is at the forefront of the circular economy. We are driven to make a positive influence on the environment and promote change by our ambitious sustainability goals, which are deeply rooted in our mission.
In an effort to create value while reducing carbon footprint and dependence on virgin resources, STS Fashion works with prospective partners to co-develop circular solutions. Our dedication includes:
- Promoting the use of regenerative and recycled materials in order to protect the environment.
- Developing methods to eliminate contamination and trash.
- Developing new methods to increase material efficiency and reduce waste.
What is the circular economy, exactly? What does it look like in real life? Who's doing it at the moment? How do you get involved, too?
The circular economy approach used by STS Fashion
Embracing Natural Circularity
The sustainable wood used in STS Fashion’s creations comes from plantations and forests that are managed in an ethical manner. In addition to being environmentally friendly, our fibers are biodegradable and compostable, so they end up in the compost heap in a responsible way and fit in perfectly with the natural cycle of life.
Commercial-Scale Recycling Technologies
To combat textile waste, STS Fashion has developed RECYCLOTM, a revolutionary upcycling system. Raw materials are created from pre- and post-consumer cotton scraps and clothing. Our commitment intends to handle 100,000 tons of textile waste by 2028, promoting textile recycling in partnership with our partners.
Resource-Efficient Technologies and Products
Sustainable products are created by STS Fashion through continuous innovation. The company has an emphasis on making the most of available resources and recovering as much water, energy, and chemicals as possible. For a more sustainable future, we will continue to pioneer eco-friendly solutions.
Supply Chain Transparency and Traceability
Fiber identification, blockchain technology, and teamwork make up STS Fashion’s three-pronged approach to supply chain transparency. All the way through the supply chain, this strong method confirms the origin of STS Fashion fibers, ensuring a high degree of transparency.
Collaborative Systemic Change
Working together is essential for tackling complicated global issues. By working together with stakeholders and other professionals in the industry, STS Fashion is leading the charge for a more sustainable textile and nonwovens sector.
Waste Management for Circular Efficiency
For STS Fashion’s circular economy to work, waste control must be a top priority. Reduced resource demand and environmental implications are the results of our efforts to repurpose production waste.
