NN. 07 crafts
NN. 07 still uses a range of unsustainable materials in a small minoirty of their products - elastane up to 5% per product (pp), polyester up to 85% pp, polyamide (nylon) up to 18% pp, polyurethane up to 15% pp and acrylic up to 45% pp. They're transparent about this.
We’re here to celebrate the products that are using sustainable materials and leading the way with a fashion first approach.
Look for the below materials when you buy.
ORGANIC COTTON
What: cotton that uses 80-90% less water and reduces pollution - minimising soil degradation.
How: grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilisers.
Reduces chemical & water usage
Protects bio-diversity
LINEN
What: a natural fibre from a renewable source that’s both light, breathable and durable.
How: derived from the flax plant linen is biodegradable and requires 10 times less water than cotton while minimising chemical use.
Reduces chemical & water usage​
Recyclable & biodegradable
SHEEP’S WOOL
What: a biodegradable material from a renewable source often used to make sweaters and jackets.
How: made through a simple process of shearing to spinning and weaving.
Reduces chemical & water usage
Recyclable & biodegradable
TENCEL
What: is a type of lyocell, a semi-sythentic material often used to make activewear & underware.
How: using eucalyptus trees, it’s made by dissolving wood pulp in a non-toxic solvent - creating fibres.
Reduces chemical & water usage​
Protects bio-diversity
RECYCLED POLYAMIDE
What: nylon made from pre-consumer waste (eg. offcuts) and / or post-consumer waste (eg. old fishing nets).
How: a process of sorting, shredding, melting and spinning into a recycled fibre.
Reduces (landfill & ocean) waste
Still releases microplastics
RECYCLED POLYESTER
What: A fabric made from recycled plastic often used for swimwear & activewear.
How: primarily using waste plastic bottles, the material is melted down (using some harsh chemicals) and recycled.
