Sustainability is never far from our minds these days. Whether you’re shopping for the home, recycling food packaging or looking to lower energy bills. But what about the clothes you wear? Do you think about where they come from, how sustainable they are or their impact on the planet?
At Damart, we’re constantly looking to reduce or carbon footprint, and make sure our processes and our suppliers’ processes are more eco-friendly. We’ve taken a particular interest in some of our collections, the fabrics we use and their production. So, let’s take a look at how by buying with Damart, you can be more eco conscious.
Clothing made in Ecovero™ fabric
Lenzing™ Ecovero™ has made eco-responsible production its focus. The process of making its viscose uses up to 50% less water, takes wood from sustainable forests and leaves air and water cleaner. In fact, it creates up to 50% less carbon emissions, so we have cleaner air. Plus, fibres are biodegradable too and even better, they look and feel fantastic.
These are just some of our Ecovero™ pieces. Choose from our super soft, light paisley blouse and wide leg trousers. You can wear them separately or together like a jumpsuit. On trend and so much easier when it comes to powdering your nose!
Perfect Fit. Perfect for the environment.
Our best selling jeans collection, Perfect Fit is also has pieces that are kinder to the planet. Perfect Fit and their amazing sculpting styles are always popular. The secret is a clever tummy control and a slimming cut, like our High Waist Perfect Fit Jean shown here. But did you know they’re made with a new washing technique that uses less water and energy? This alone makes them eco-friendly as well as wardrobe friendly.
Choose 100% cotton for a greener wardrobe
Cotton is a cool, lightweight, totally natural fibre. Switch to cotton rather than synthetic polyester or semi synthetic rayon and you’re on the right track. With 25 million tons of cotton produced every year, it’s clearly a popular choice. We have quite a collection of gorgeous cotton pieces.
Our statement blouse with stunning broderie anglaise is a great look. For cooler days don’t miss our comfy cardigan in two colours, or our short sleeved jumpers are also great picks. Elevate the everyday to something special with a frilled neckline or go for a self patterned top in olive or cream. Perfect for those warmer summer days.
How are we becoming more sustainable?
We have a vision to reduce our carbon footprint by 25% come 2025 and 50% by 2030. We already have some electric vans and we’ve trialled biodegradable packaging on our mailers. We also have a ‘Change Our World’ programme where more than 160 key indicators are measured and assessed annually. Here, it lets you know our promise to have 100% renewable energy across our operations by 2030 and support zero deforestation and sustainable forest management by 2025.
