H&M Group Is The Largest Supplier Of Sustainable Cotton And Man-Made Fiber Materials Worldwide.

Recently, the global nonprofit textile exchange (Textile Exchange) released its annual preferred Preferred material market report (Preferred FiberMaterials).

The report shows that H&M group is currently the largest user of sustainable cotton and man-made fiber materials such as Lesel.

This marks a further step towards the long-term goal of H&M group in its sustainability, that is to say, by 2030, 100% of renewable or other sustainable sources will be achieved.

Living on a planet with limited natural resources means that the future fashion industry will not be able to operate in the current way.

H&M Group believes that the business model based on reusable sustainable materials is the only way to maintain the sustainable development of the fashion industry.

LieslTruscott, head of materials and strategy at the textile exchange, said: "industry leaders have demonstrated their solemn commitment to sustainable improvement in terms of sustainability.

Data show that the longer the goal is set, the more improvements the company will make, and the more positive it will be.

These enterprises recognize the need to strengthen and truly integrate successful environmental concepts into their companies. "

The goal of H&M group is to use renewable or other sustainable sources in 2030 100%.

An important goal in this process is that by 2020, all cotton used by the group came from sustainable sources.

H&M is proud to be the world's largest sustainable cotton user, including cotton and regenerated cotton that do not use chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides in the production process, and good cotton from the good cotton Initiative (BCI), and the world's largest user of sustainable fiber materials.

According to the latest textile fiber materials market report of the textile exchange, H&M group is also one of the largest users of sustainable down products from the world and one of the largest users of wool from sustainable sources.

H&M group CeciliaBr nnsten, manager of sustainable development and environmental protection, said: "as the group's annual use of renewable and other sustainable sources of materials has increased steadily, we have not only promoted the growth of demand for widely used materials, such as cotton without chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides in the production process, but also affected the large-scale application of new sustainable materials.

We hope to guide other companies in the industry to move towards a sustainable future. "

Looking forward to the future, the fashion industry will use many different materials today.

Through the H&M environmental conscious action limited series, H&M group introduces new environmental materials in its product line every year to explore the latest innovative products.

Bionic, for example, is a regenerated polyester made from waste plastics recovered from the coast.

For example, the recycled velvet made from recycled cashmere and recycled polyester fibers.

H&M group's production material target - cotton is the most widely used material of H&M group. Our goal is that by 2020, all cotton used by the group will come from sustainable sources.
