The world’s largest apparel interlinings manufacturer, Chargeurs PCC Fashion Technologies, has launched its Sustainable 360™. Sustainable 360™ is a new brand identity for its permanent line of interlinings, launched just over a year ago as the Sustainable 50 collection.
The new product line comprises sustainable interlinings and other components.
Chargeurs PCC is committed to sustainability and is the only supplier in its market segment to have signed the UN Global Compact and performed Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audits (SMETAs) on its facilities and suppliers. The audits cover all aspects of responsible business practice across Sedex’s four pillars of labor, health and safety, environment, and business ethics.
Audrey Petit, Managing Director of Chargeurs PCC Fashion Technologies, said, “Our sustainable collection has seen phenomenal growth since launching a year ago, and based on that success, we designed the new Sustainable 360 brand identity to identify this as a permanent collection and more clearly convey to the market the breadth and benefits of our offering. The name better illustrates what sets us apart from our competition, our complete commitment to corporate social responsibility, which goes far beyond just using recycled and sustainable materials.
”
Chargeurs has rolled out a series of innovations since initially launching its sustainable interlining collection, including manufacturing a line of circular-knit interlining products using an innovative process patented by partner mill Weemeet that requires no water. The company is also creating coatings for products using recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB), commonly used as a safety layer inside auto and building glass and then landfilled. The Chargeurs PCC sustainable collection offered 50 items at launch, but the range has expanded to include more than 250 articles.
The company can now sustainably manufacture any base material in its catalog of thousands of products, including nylon, polyester, and cotton.
