MATERIALS
We work with monitoring programmes to ensure compliance with safety, health and quality standards for our products.
The Green to Wear 2.0 standard aims to minimise the environmental impact of textile manufacturing. To that end, we have developed laura’s The List programme, which helps guarantee both that production processes are clean and that our garments are safe and healthy.

RECYCLED POLYESTER
Recycled polyester is produced from recycled PET plastic, such as that found in plastic bottles.
Whenever you throw a plastic bottle into a recycling bin, it is taken to a waste separation and classification plant. These plants separate the different types of plastic and give it a better purpose. The PET plastic is cleaned, shredded and recycled into a new recycled polyester fibre.
As a result, we are able to give new life to plastic waste and reduce the consumption of virgin raw material through a process that consumes less water and less energy and generates less waste.
The recovered thread has characteristics similar to virgin polyester: it is strong, resistant and long-lasting and can always be recycled again.

Certifications
We only use recycled polyester certified by organisations which monitor the process from the source to the final product. At present, we work with:
Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
Recycled Content Standard (RCS)
