Prym, a German apparel manufacturer, is reputed for producing accessories for the global lingerie industry.

Prym Fashion has launched eco-friendly snaps. The snaps, available in EcoWhite or EcoGreen, offer earth-friendly solutions for sportswear, outdoor performance apparel and children’s and babies’ wear manufacturers. The EcoWhite snaps are made from recycled water bottles. The EcoGreen snap is green in color but also green because it is sourced from plant materials, such as potato starch. As a result, this snap is both biodegradable and recyclable. An EcoBlue snap is on the horizon, which will source recycled ocean plastic for production.

The fashion industry is well-known for wasteful practices in manufacturing, including excessive water consumption and chemical run-off. As brands and retailers in the textile industry continue to raise their sustainability goals, details like trim will become increasingly important. Prym Fashion is committed to making snaps that make a difference.

Prym is a company with a rich legacy of close to 500 years, including over two decades in Sri Lanka. Despite the current economic crisis in Sri Lanka, the island has been an ideal destination for the apparel manufacturer. Prym will continue to expand its presence in the country by investing in more machinery and training the local teams to increase their production capacity.
