08 SUSTAINABLE CLOTHING 350 catalogue 2024 Utopicrecycled WHY 100% RECYCLED? Choosing recycled materials is essential to reduce our impact on the environment and is one of the most effective solutions to address the growing amount of waste globally. Utopic items in the Recycled section are made from 100% recycled materials. By mixing recycled cotton with recycled polyester, we wanted to create a fabric that combines the best performance properties of both fibers: cotton is a highly breathable material, while polyester is a durable and resistant fiber1. In this way, we were able to ensure, through the use of recycled materials, the reduction of our environmental impact2 and, through the blend of fibers, durable and high-quality materials. The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification is a recognition of excellence in the field of sustainability and responsible resource management. By guaranteeing a transparent production process that complies with stringent environmental standards, the GRS certifies that the materials used in a product are obtained from recycled sources, thus reducing the negative impact on the environment. The garments in the Utopic recycled collection (zip-up hoodie, hoodie with kangaroo pocket, crewneck sweatshirt, polo shirt, t-shirt) are all GRS certified. 1 https://www.fibre2fashion.com/industry-article/5001/cotton-or-poly-cotton-fabric. 2 in the production phase, compared to a product made with virgin materials, based on our carbon footprint.
