Knowledge Cotton Apparel, an ethical brand of organic clothing for women and men
With almost 50 years of experience in responsible fashion, research and innovation, Knowledge Cotton Apparel is one of the go-to brands for men who care about their impact on the planet. It offers a contemporary, sustainable wardrobe built on quality, natural materials and ethical manufacturing.
The environmental commitments of Knowledge Cotton Apparel clothing
The ethical fashion brand uses GOTS-certified organic cotton as well as other natural materials such as linen, Tencel and wool (mulesing-free) for its eco-friendly clothing collections. The brand uses no leather trims and is committed to never using them.
Some technical products, such as raincoats, require plastic materials. In these cases, Knowledge Cotton Apparel uses PET made from flakes of plastic bottles (like soda bottles). The brand holds the GRS (Global Recycle Standard) label and hopes to recycle 4.5 million plastic bottles in 2020.
The Knowledge Cotton Apparel website takes part in the "CO₂ neutral Website" programme, which offsets the carbon emissions generated by its online activity. Thanks to green energy, and by planting a tree for every 25th shirt produced, the brand hopes to become 100% carbon neutral by 2025.
The ethical commitments of the brand Knowledge Cotton Apparel
Knowledge Cotton Apparel builds long-term partnerships with certified manufacturers who share its values: quality, efficiency, rigour and love for the Earth. One of the brand's strengths is challenging the industry's status quo by fighting for fundamental causes such as poverty and child labour, which today affects 170 million (far too) young workers. By choosing partners certified by third parties (SA8000, GOTS, GRS, BSCI or Fairtrade), the brand can make sure that working conditions and wages are decent in the factories and cotton fields.
