Concerned about the environment, the Chichi Castelnango brand has designed a collection of swimsuits made from recycled materials.
With high standards in the choice of materials, Chichi Castelnango chooses mainly French or European materials. Recycled materials that are ever more respectful of the environment, accessible at a fair price.
Chichi Castelnango is committed to circular fashion that is accessible to all.
The environmental impact of fashion and fast fashion
Fast fashion is defined as an overconsumption of clothing and fashion accessories. It is the constant renewal of clothing collections in an intensive manner. As a result, fast fashion pushes the consumer to buy massively.
Today, the figures concerning fashion and ecology are surprising.
- The textile industry is the third most polluting sector,
- More than 130 billion items of clothing are consumed worldwide each year.
- 70% of synthetic fibers come from petroleum,
- 500,000 tonnes of plastic microparticles, present in materials such as nylon, polyester and elastane, are thrown into the oceans,
- 4 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away each year by Europeans,
- 50,000 girls in forced labor in factories in South India,
- 20% of the world's freshwater pollution is linked to textile processing and dyeing...
Every year, these figures are worrying. Chichi Castelnango is committed to an ethical approach on the one hand by offering limited collections of underwear on the other hand, by being concerned about the choice of materials and suppliers.
Chichi Castelnango, an eco-responsible brand
Chichi Castelnango wants to be a responsible brand. Indeed, the teams are concerned about the materials used and recommend swimsuit collections made from recycled materials.
Collections made from recycled materials
All our fabric scraps are recycled from plastic bottles. PET called Polyethylene Terephthalate was developed to fight against the textile industry. Recycled materials are an alternative to silk and nylon.
Every year, the Chichi Castelnango workshop is awarded the GRS label, which stands for Guarantee of recycled textiles in compliance with environmental and social criteria. The women's swimwear and lingerie collections are also GOTS certified, this label ensures the organic status of the textile fibers used. It also guarantees customers that the entire production chain complies with strict environmental rules.
In order to avoid the carbon footprint due to the transport of textiles, the clothing workshop is in Paris. Chichi Castelnango pays particular attention to the choice of suppliers, all located mainly in France and Europe. These suppliers are renowned for their know-how and their respect for the environment.
Limited collections
Eco-responsible, Chichi Castelnango wants to produce thoughtfully by avoiding overproduction. Each year, based on your feedback and your lingerie favorites, forecasts are established.
A pre-order system has been set up. Restocking is organized and planned based on the number of requests. We recycle the fibers from each unsold product.
