Ever-green clothes for a sustainable and eco-friendly wardrobe

Against a pop and drop fashion and to reduce the ecological impact of textile waste, we can start with the consumption habits of fashion: Pontex prefers a style that purchases ever-green clothes, with sustainable fabrics for clothing, bio-based resins with natural dyes and recycled cottons

A more sustainable and high-quality fashion is the goal of the “EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles”, to be implemented within 2030. The impact of textile products on environment is in fourth place in Europe after food, accommodation and transport. Therefore, EU wants to declare war to fast fashion, the low price “pop and drop” fashion, with rules that favour the use of recycled fibres, reduce that of micro-plastics, prohibit the destruction of unsold stock. 
If we want to reduce the ecological impact of textile waste and help to counteract climate change, we can start with the consumption habits of fashion preferring a style that purchases ever-green clothes.

But what are ever-green clothes? 

Ever-green clothes are long-lasting clothes, that remain beautiful over time and are always trendy. It is underlined also by Elle in its 10 rules to make fashion system circular, in which, in first place, we find “Producing long-lasting clothes”: 
Clothes realised with Pontex fabrics for clothing are clothes to grow fond of, with which you can establish an emotional connection, to be kept always with you in your wardrobe. Blazers, gabardines, trousers, shirts, recycled cottons, realised with sustainable raw materials like organic cotton with GOTS and BCI certifications, Supima cottons, bio-based resins. To be worn in their naturalness or combined with colourful and dense shades, with natural dyes.

Pontex decided to bet on these sustainable fabrics, against fast fashion filling the oceans with plastic, and remain faithful to the vision of the company, in which the identity of unique fabrics, realised according to originality and craftmanship, is part of a historical tradition that is brought forth since 1972. 

Recycled And Indigo Yarn-Dyed Cotton    

Recycled and indigo yarn-dyed cotton with special shades to create clothes that are unique over time, with very different and never common aspects. With these one-hundred-percent sustainable fabrics we realise trousers that are versatile and always trendy but, most of all, attentive to the environment.

Organic resins with natural dyes

Resin-treated fabrics for clothing, realised also with bio-based organic resins, for the production of clothes and dresses as well as blazers, gabardines and trousers, that combine comfort and efficiency, style and trend. For the resin-treated fabrics for clothing proposed by Pontex, the most used textile fibres are cotton, organic cotton and linen.
The dye of these resins is completely natural, of plant origin, realised through eco-friendly processes: no toxicity, then, and no allergic reactions on your skin because no chemical products were used to dye these fabrics.

Natural dyes are considered eco-friendly since they are obtained from renewable resources; they are biodegradable and the remaining material left after extraction of the dye can be easily composted and used as fertilizer. From an aesthetic point of view, dyes with natural colours allow wonderful colourings, very different from those obtained from synthetic dyes.

Supima Cotton

Supima cotton, also known as “luxury cotton”, is a cotton with a long fibre (that can exceed 29 mm) and very resistant, as well as thin. It is one of the most refined and precious cottons in the world, recognised for its extraordinary softness and shininess, that makes it better after each washing, without losing its shape and resisting to tears and rips.
Our Collection of fabrics for clothing also includes Supima Cotton to realize comfortable and elegant trousers in sportswear style: a must-have both in women’s and men’s wardrobe.

Discover Tencel fibre: for unique, long-lasting and eco-friendly pieces of clothing

The industry of sustainable fashion is increasingly choosing this innovative textile fabric to realise pieces of clothing. When mixed with linen and cotton, resistance, freshness and environmental compatibility increase   art. 04202/P05 ALICIA PXT: 55% TENCEL 45% LINO, altezza 145/148, peso 195mt2  295mtl Tencel fibre is gaining more and more space in the industry of sustainable fashion, thanks to its characteristics: it is very resistant and “responsible” because it is ecological and eco-friendly. What is Tencel fibre? Tencel fibre is a fibre with a natural structure. It has a very low impact on environment because it is obtained from eucalyptus trees, from which wooden pulp is extracted: for this reason, it is a pure cellulose fibre, 100% biodegradable. What are its unique characteristics? Tencel fibre presents a series of unique characteristics, a reason for being very used in the textile sector: Elasticity, maintained also after many washings. High humidity absorption. Resistance to creases, also after having being used for long periods. Comfort: its softness and lightness make it extremely pleasant to touch, offering a comfort experience superior to the one given by other textile fibres. Sustainability: the closed-cycle production process significantly reduces impact on environment. Versatility: thanks to its high colour absorption, Tencel fibre ensures really intense colours and generous shades. Tencel in clothing With Tencel, it is possible to create unique pieces of clothing, “ready to wear”, with a very fresh and breathable hand. In fact, Tencel fabrics are soft and delicate on skin.When Tencel is mixed with other fibres like Cotton and Linen, resistance, comfort and sustainability of the fabric increase.Cotton is a natural fibre widely used in fabrics for clothing due to its characteristics of softness, breathability, high resistance, to creases too. Furthermore, it is sustainable as it is a natural, biodegradable and renewable fibre; this makes it an eco-friendlier choice compared to synthetic materials, and it can be weaved in a wide range of weights and thickness. Linen is a natural fibre too: it is hypoallergenic, insulating and thermo-regulating, it is fresh and light and comfortable to wear, mainly in warmer weather. Despite its lightness, it is surprisingly resistant and long-lasting; linen fabrics are usually stronger than other natural fabrics like cotton. Furthermore, depending on how these fibres are combined, it is possible to obtain different micro structures thanks to the weaving pay of yarns. art. 01812/P05 HOYA PXT 71% TENCEL 16% LINO 13% COTONE altezza 139/141 peso 165m2 240mtl The particular flamed texture of linen with irregular weft of the fabric, for example, creates intriguing visual aspects that give the fabric great personality: in this way the piece of clothing gains a unique value in our wardrobe. art. 04201/P05 ANNIE PXT 51% TENCEL 49% LINO altezza 145/148 peso 135mt2 200mtl 100% eco-friendly pieces of clothing Linen, Cotton and Tencel fabrics for clothing in the Spring Summer Collection by Pontex can be garment dyed using fully natural dyes and pigments, to which finishing can be applied to give a delavé effect.
