Sustainability

Fashion industry’s impact on the planet is undeniable. We care about the environment and want to share the responsibility of the world we leave behind. While drastic measures are required, there is no action too small to fight against the climate change.

Our Initiatives

We have launched several short-term and long-term initiatives to help ensure that we gradually improve on our products and processes. In 2021, we’re beginning to integrate sustainability into every stage of the garment life-cycle from design, material usage, manufacturing, use, to garment disposal. Sustainability is a journey, and what we will learn on the way will help us gain better knowledge of how we can further improve our efforts in becoming a truly sustainable company.

Create timeless, durable products that withstand both time and the elements. All Nobis garments that can be home laundered and do not require dry cleaning. Exclusively using materials that are bluesign or Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals in the dyeing and finishing process.

Our Goals

Our goal is to be 95% compliant by 2025. Replacing virgin polyester and nylon with recycled alternatives to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels and to reduce plastic waste. Our goal is to replace 35% of polyester with recycled alternatives by 2025. Exploring fluorocarbon-free (C0) DWR treatments. Our current Teflon™ DWR treatment is based on C6 chemistry, and whilst it has a significantly lower toxicity than its predecessor C8, it still contains fluorocarbons that have been found to be harmful to the environment.

In 2020, we will launch a full investigation into fluorocarbon-free chemistries. Since C0 chemistries do not offer the same durability as the C6, we’re committed to continue testing the finishes until we find a solution that satisfies not only the environmental requirements but also achieves acceptable level of performance. We don’t accept the use of any C8-based DWR finishes in our products.

Our Products

We work with a handful of selected garment factories that can meet our expectations for high quality and craftmanship.
