SUSTAINABILITYa sun-powered loop
Fed by the sun, reduced by measure.
Solar panels on our roof feed part of production with renewable energy; the water we use, we measure, treat and return to the loop — not by claims, but by documented safety.
Not claims — measured, documented work.
We address sustainability on three foundations: sun-fed production, measured management of water · energy · chemicals, and documented product safety. We measure before we publish figures, and what we measure we have verified by independent audit.
The sun that feeds production.
Solar panels installed on our roof in Çorlu feed part of our production with renewable energy. While knitting and dyeing run during the day, they reduce the energy we draw from the grid — the first concrete step of measured impact.
We will publish a verified figure for our renewable-energy share here once measurement is complete. We don’t give unverified numbers.
Our measurement roadmap.
We measure before we publish figures, and have what we measure verified by independent audit. Below, line by line: what we track, the evidence behind it, and the condition under which we publish the verified number.
| Indicator tracked | Current status & evidence | Condition to publish the verified figure |
|---|---|---|
| Renewable-energy share | Rooftop solar PV is in production at Çorlu; its share of consumption is measured under ISO 14001. | Once the first full-year measurement is independently verified |
| Process-water reuse | The wastewater treatment plant is in operation; pre-discharge treatment is certified. | Once an independent water-balance audit is complete |
| Wastewater / ZLD status | Certified to ISO 14001 environmental management; a ZLD (zero-liquid-discharge) roadmap is under assessment. | Once the roadmap is finalized |
| Recycled-yarn (rPET) share | GRS/RCS chain of custody is certified; rPET content is offered on a per-order basis. | Reported within the GRS audit cycle |
Water — measured, treated, returned to the loop.
We don’t discharge dyehouse water untreated; we measure what we use, reduce it step by step, and return what’s reclaimed to the loop.
Three guiding principles.
Resource management
Monitoring and gradually reducing water, energy and chemical use in dyeing and finishing.
Safe chemistry
Compliance with harmful-substance limits under OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and management of restricted chemicals.
Durability & recycling
A circular approach with long-lasting polyester and recycled (rPET) yarn options.
Trust documented by independent audit.
Our sustainability claims rest on certificates issued by independent bodies. The ones below relate directly to environment, safe chemistry and recycling.
Environmental Management System
Proof that environmental impact (water · energy · chemicals · waste) is managed through an audited system.
Harmful-Substance Test — STANDARD 100
Laboratory proof that skin-contact fabric carries no harmful substances.
Sustainable Textile Production — STeP
Facility-level sustainability — six modules, Level 2, ZDHC MRSL 3.1.
Recycled Content — GRS + RCS Scope Certificate
Independent chain-of-custody certificate for recycled polyester (rPET).
As a polyester mill we do not claim cotton/organic standards (GOTS, OCS); our focus is safety and recycling credentials relevant to polyester.
Frequently asked questions
Do you use solar energy at the factory?
Yes. Solar panels (PV) on the roof of our Çorlu factory feed part of our production with renewable energy and reduce what we draw from the grid during the day. We will publish a figure for our renewable-energy share once measurement is complete — we don’t share unverified numbers.
What happens to dyehouse water?
We don’t discharge dyehouse water untreated. We measure what we use, reduce it step by step and return what’s reclaimed to the loop; environmental impact is managed through our independently audited ISO 14001 environmental management system.
Do you supply GRS/RCS-certified recycled (rPET) fabric?
Yes. We hold a GRS 4.0 + RCS 2.0 scope certificate; a Transaction Certificate (TC) is what proves a specific shipment is certified. Tell us the weight and colour of rPET you need and we’ll pull what fits.
What is the difference between OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and STeP?
STANDARD 100 is product-level; it tests skin-contact fabric against harmful-substance limits. STeP assesses facility-level sustainability across six modules (overall result Level 2, ZDHC MRSL 3.1).
Do you hold GOTS or organic-cotton certification?
No. We are a polyester knit mill; cotton/organic standards (GOTS, OCS) are outside our scope. Our focus is safety (OEKO-TEX) and recycling (GRS/RCS) credentials relevant to polyester.
Looking for recycled-content fabric? Ask for a swatch.
If you want OEKO-TEX certified cloth or rPET yarn, tell us the weight and we’ll pull what fits.
