H&M has launched the Recycled Denim collection featuring 10 pieces of women’s garments including baggy jeans, loose straight jeans, a Trucker jacket, an oversized overshirt, a bucket hat and tote bag. As per a Sourcing Journal report, all of these are made from 100 percent recycled fabrics, threads, labels and pocketing. The collection is also partly made with recycled metal zippers and trims.
For the tops and bottoms, H&M incorporated pre-consumer recycled cotton from industrial waste cuttings and post-consumer recycled cotton from collected garments, some with recycled polyester. The accessories are made entirely from fabrics that have been cut and re-used from production rejections.
The washing technique used for the garments has a low environmental impact and is free from harmful chemicals. The collection retails from $24.99-$39.99.
This month H&M Group was named a Global Compact LEAD, which demonstrates an ongoing commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and its Ten Principles for responsible business.
