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 fibres to be used in our products. 202020 VISION Our vision is that the in the year 2020, 20% of fibres, which are placed in the categories of orange and red should be replaced with the fibres placed within the green and yellow category. DO NO HARM DO NOT USE The red and orange fibre groups, are in a common pool, called "Do No Harm". Fibres in the red are the fibres that are most harmful to the environment, animals and human beings. In addition, it includes fibres, wherein the recycling is not an option. Orange fibres are also harmful, but the difference is, that red fibres can not be reused, while the orange fibres can. DO GOOD The yellow and green fibre groups are in the pool, called "Do Good". The yellow fibres are considered to be a good alternative to the fibres from the category of "Do No Harm". The yellow fibres are better for all three focus areas, listed above. The green fibres are the best fibres to be used. At this point of knowledge there should be no problems using these fibres and they are also full recyclable. The last pool is the "Do Not Use" category. DK Company do not accept any form of cruelty in textile production and has therefore actively chosen not to use fibres that fall within this category. Angora and any kind of fur are deselected due to the poor living conditions of these animals. INNOVATION FIBRES Fibres within this category are made from waste materials. This means, when a material has been used for its original function and is discarded, it can be reused by making it into fibres and subsequently textiles. There is a continuous development within sustainable fibres and we there constantly need to keep an eye out for any changes.
