We are all faced with the urgency to take action to protect our beautiful planet. As consumers and businesses, we have the power and responsibility to make sustainable choices that preserve the environment for future generations.
At Nine Worths we take this responsibility very seriously, which is why we are proud to present our range of eco-friendly workwear !
Summary :
1 – A reasoned choice of materials
When our models allow it, we favor more durable and quality materials such as Modal or recycled polyester . Part of our range meets the Standard 100 label of the Oeko Tex brand, guaranteeing the quality of our fabrics as well as the absence of chemical substances harmful to health and the planet.
Recycled polyester: a sustainable solution
Polyester is a ubiquitous material in textile manufacturing. Recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a material derived from the recycling of plastic bottles, textile production waste and recycled clothing .
The advantages of recycled polyester:
- Dries faster.
- Exhibits superior color stability, even under sweating and sun exposure.
- Retains the shape of clothes better and does not tend to shrink as much.
- Guarantees a long service life.
Modal: an artificial textile of natural origin
Modal is obtained by spinning wood cellulose fibers, thus classifying it among the types of viscose. Modal can be used alone, or combined with other fibers. It is 50% more absorbent than cotton, at equal volume.
The advantages of Modal:
- A good alternative to viscose, much more environmentally friendly.
- Modal is manufactured in a “closed circuit”: water is saved, chemicals used are recycled and reused until almost all are used up.
- CO2 neutral footprint because the chemical reaction it undergoes upon contact with a solvent is offset by the regeneration of the trees needed for its manufacture.
- Products made of modal are durable because the material is resistant. They require little maintenance: this material does not shrink when washed, does not allow limescale to settle on it and does not need to be ironed.
- Oeko-Tex fabrics
Oeko-tex fabric guarantees the absence of harmful and dangerous substances for your skin and for the planet. Everything is controlled: the fibers of the fabric, the threads or even the prints and inks used, but also the production methods. In any case, it is a label certified by an independent organization.
2 – Our range of eco-designed clothing
Little by little, we are integrating clothes made from eco-responsible materials into our product range. We have summer and winter ranges, as well as ranges for men and women.
The ALBA women's work vest , made from recycled polyester
The QUENTIN work t-shirt , made from Oeko-Tex fabric
The COSTA work Bermuda shorts , made from recycled polyester
3 – To go further
At Nine Worths , our commitment to a sustainable future doesn't stop there. We continue to innovate and seek out eco-friendly solutions.
Whether it is in terms of our operating methods, recycling or transport, we are committed to reducing our ecological footprint . We have adopted a zero waste policy by removing hangers, recycling our packaging and making donations to a charity. We are supporting the carbon neutrality approach of our carriers in France.
We are also committed to raising awareness among our customers and our community about the importance of eco-responsibility ! We know that this is not enough and it is with our entire value chain that we study new innovative solutions.
