BERLIN - An off-white denim, created by a partnership of retailer C&A, Pakistani textile mill Rajby Textiles and circular economy consultants Eco Intelligent Growth (EIG), has become the world's first to receive platinum Cradle to Cradle certification.
Beluga denim is made with 100 per cent Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified organic cotton fibre, is fully recyclable and is produced using a specially-designed closed-loop water system.
It also claims to be 100 per cent carbon neutral in the final manufacturing stage - although this is achieved through offsetting, rather than emissions reductions, which is not officially recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
