SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL GUIDE There are several challenges in the production of textiles. Our focus is on three main areas – the environment, humans and animal welfare. These are the areas we as a textile company must pay special attention to, in the decision of fibers which we use in our production. RED Most harmful GREY Under development Fibers in the red category are the fibers that are most harmful to the planet, humans and animals. In addition, it includes fibers, wherein the recycling is not an option. Fibers in the grey innovation box are fibers that are under development or are developed. These fibers can be waste and/or recycled materials or new fibers made from more sustainable sources. YELLOW Good alternative BLACK Banned Fibers in the yellow category are considered to be a good alternative to the fibers from the red pool. The yellow fibers are better for all three focus areas, listed above. GREEN Best to be used Fibers in the black category are banned. DK Company do not accept any form of cruelty in textile production and has therefore actively chosen not to use fibers that could fall into this category. Angora and any kind of fur are deselected due to the poor living conditions of these animals. Fibers in the green category are the best fibers to be used. At this point of knowledge there should be no problems using these fibers and they are also full recyclable. There is a continuous development within sustainable fibers and we therefor constantly need to keep an eye out for any changes.
