Je houdt van mode, maar wil niet bijdragen aan de groeiende textiel-afvalberg? Vanaf nu gaan wij samen de modecirkel sluitend maken. Met jouw aankoop zorg je dat je sweater 100% circulair wordt. Samen creëren we een wereld zonder kledingafval.
YES statiegeld, NO textile waste
New Optimist takes the revolutionary step towards 'statiegeld' on clothing. You are in control to ensure that your favourite sweater eventually becomes part of the fashion circle of life again.
WE’RE AT THE FOREFRONT OF A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
All our garments are made following the circular design principles of the Ellen MacArthur foundation. This means that:
1. We don’t create waste or pollution
2. We make durable garments
3. We use recycled materials and guarantee garment recyclability
