Sustainability

Textile production with SAG Fashion

Certified Sustainable

Sustainability is an important topic in the textile and clothing industry. Our production conditions are therefore independently controlled and certified.

The production of clothing and textiles has a significant impact on the environment, especially the climate. Although there are many difficulties in developing sustainable textile production, there are also many opportunities to bring about positive change.

Our goal is for us as a producer, but also for our suppliers and customers, to contribute to ensuring a more sustainable future for the planet. Together, we have various opportunities to promote sustainability in the clothing industry.

At SAG Fashion, this includes using environmentally friendly materials, supporting fair working conditions and promoting the circular economy.

Our approach to fair and more sustainable textile production.

Environment?
Consciously!

SAG Fashion has developed a holistic system to minimize the consumption of natural resources and, in particular, CO2 emissions.

Generating energy from textile waste

Every day, huge quantities of fabric waste are disposed of in landfills in the clothing industry. To counteract this problem, SAG Fashion has implemented a system to convert textile waste into energy. We have set up a filtered waste incineration boiler to use all material waste as an alternative to fossil fuels for steam generation.

Installation of our own solar system to generate electricity

To cover part of our electricity requirements for lighting and machine operation, we have installed our own solar system on our buildings.

Reduced plastic consumption and use of recycled plastic

At SAG Fashion, we reduce our plastic consumption at every stage of production. We are happy to offer you more environmentally friendly alternatives for accessories and packaging, e.g. polybags made from recycled plastics.

Use of sustainable raw materials such as organic cotton

In our internal fabric production, we are using more and more renewable raw materials such as organic cotton, or more sustainable alternatives such as recycled polyester yarn. We also actively encourage our customers to have their garments produced using sustainable raw materials.

Reduced electricity consumption thanks to modern production processes

To reduce electricity consumption, we have invested in machines with high energy efficiency. We have also implemented various energy management systems to monitor and optimize electricity consumption. We regularly train our employees to use energy-efficient working methods and raise their awareness of electricity consumption.
