Schoeller, a Swiss textile manufacturer, has announced the 'Re-Source' collection, which prioritizes sustainable construction without compromising on quality and high functionality. Performance fabrics have been included in the collection with the best weather protection, comfort, and durability, whether indoors or outdoors. Each item has been carefully crafted with bio-based, post-consumer, and pre-consumer materials, with some pieces incorporating Nativa merino wool.
The company has also utilized a special 'Q-Cycle' process to create a resistant and durable polyamide material, which helps reduce CO2 emissions, helping with climate change.
"With Re-Source, we as a brand are making a textile contribution to our Schoeller brand vision: a better future for people and the planet. By reusing materials that have already been used, we create ecological and social added value," says Antonio Gatti Balsarri, chief commercial officer.
