Hello. I'm Kei from the ApparelX department.
Following on from last time, we've put together a roundup of sustainable materials that have been attracting a lot of attention recently.
This time, we've compiled secondary materials.
Sustainable textiles, Part 1, are here
Sustainable materials roundup - lining, tape, buttons - (1) are here
For lining as well, there are items made with recycled materials, as well as ApparelX originalCupro lining.
Cupro is also a regenerated fiber made from cotton linters, the fluffy fiber left on the seed when cotton is harvested, so it may be considered an environmentally conscious secondary material.

In the tape and cord category, there are products made with recycled materials, as well as secondary materials that have obtained Ecotex certification*1.
There are now many secondary materials that have obtained Ecotex certification. *1 This is a certification that guarantees peace of mind and safety, proving that textile and leather products do not contain "hazardous substances that may harm health." Demand for it continues to grow worldwide.

How was that? It seems that sustainable has now become the norm as a global trend.
However, even when you try to find secondary materials, they can be surprisingly hard to locate.
We hope you will find this list useful.
