SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT

Being a forward looking company that wants to continue making iconic products in the future, G-Star acknowledges the need to look into sustainable solutions. Only when creating products with minimal environmental impact, are we able to continue as a successful company. We therefore carefully consider the materials used for our products.

We can make a big move towards minimising the environmental impact of our products by looking for materials that contribute to a more sustainable future without compromising on quality, comfort and design. Consequently, we aim to gradually increase the use of sustainable materials in our collection.

G-Star considers the following materials sustainable (source: MADE-BY Fibre Benchmark):

Recycled Cotton

Organic Hemp
Organic Cotton
Mechanically Recycled Polyester
Conventional Hemp

Chemically Recycled Polyester
Tencel® (Lyocell product from Lenzing)

Sustainable materials often require more complex production processes and longer lead-times. Because it concerns innovative materials that are less widely available than conventional ones, fitting them into our supply chain is a challenge that we take on in close cooperation with our suppliers.
