Mango’s strategy involves integrating sustainability into its business system and business model.

The Spanish brand’s initiatives have included the elimination of the committed label in favour of an informative QR code, the publication of a complete list of its fabric and accessory suppliers and the launch of its first collection of recycled and recyclable denim.

By 2025 the target is that all of the cotton used in the brand’s garments will be sustainable, all of its polyester will be recycled and 100 percent of its cellulosic fibers will be responsibly sourced. Production processes will be used that help reduce the environmental impact of Mango’s products, such as using less chemicals and water in the manufacturing process of the circular denim collection.

Garments will be made with a single type of fiber or fewer accessories in order to increase the recyclability of the products. Another way would be to design more durable garments by using carefully selected materials with certified physical properties, with reinforced construction and a timeless design. Yet another way would be to take maximum advantage of the materials used and recycling textile waste. Accessories such as trimmings or jacron labels would be eliminated. The production technology will use minimal amount of chemicals and water.
