Sustainability

As part of our environmental initiatives, a solar farm capable of generating 2 megawatts of electricity has been installed on site at our Mikuni production base, along with our own water recycling facilities. Furthermore we have a biomass boiler that uses scrap wood chips for fuel and we have changed all lighting to LED bulbs, whilst aggressively investing in ways to reduce the environmental load created throughout our production and by reducing CO2 emissions and switching to natural sources of energy.

Bemberg™ Cupro Biodegradable Lining and Labels

Bemberg™ comes from the fluffy outer part of the cotton seed that would normally get discarded, but instead it gets refined in to a yarn, that is then made in to luxurious garment linings and can now be used for printed labels.

However the real benefit of Bemberg™ is that it is fully degradable in the ground, leaving nothing behind.
