The choice of our materials
From the seed of the seed to the harvest of the flower, organic cotton is grown without pesticides, insecticides or chemical fertilizers, and without GMOs. Producers use natural fertilizers and insecticides, which do not harm the surrounding ecosystems, do not deplete the soil, and are not toxic to the people who work on the production line. Our cotton is certified by the GOTS label, the world leader in certification for organic textiles. Fishing nets represent more than 10% of the waste found on the seabed. In order to combat this environmental disaster, we wanted to use ethical materials.
It was only natural that we chose Econyl, a 100% recycled and recyclable thread. This thread has an "infinite" life cycle and aims for zero waste. Since we want to go even further in our eco-responsible approach, our products are also Oeko-tex certified. This certification tells you that our products are reliably tested for harmful substances, it guarantees that our products are not harmful to your health. The choice of our materials has been carefully considered and we are committed to using quality materials to satisfy you.
THE ECONYL
What is Econyl?
Econyl is a recycled nylon fiber made from fishing nets and waste collected from seas and oceans. After treatment, these are transformed into fiber and then into fabric ideal for making many sportswear or swimwear.
At Luz collections, materials are used to make a multitude of products, such as wetsuits, cycling suits, swimsuits, leggings, bras, t-shirts, shorts and even hooded raincoats (K-Way).
Why Econyl?
Econyl releases 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional nylon, which is a significant reduction in emissions given that nylon represents 9% of the synthetic fibres used worldwide.
To make econyl, the raw material is collected from the oceans, whereas it would have taken between 400 and 1,000 years for it to decompose in a marine environment. The production of econyl fabric helps clean the oceans of these millions of abandoned fishing nets, which threaten marine fauna and flora.
ORGANIC COTTON
Textile Organic Textile Standard
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world's leading standard for textiles made from organic and biological fibres. It guarantees the 100% organic origin of textile fibres during their production.
Concerned about the environment, we want to reduce our ecological impact, produce in a more ethical and responsible way and offer you quality products. After several years of work and multiple efforts, we are getting closer to our goal by obtaining this certification.
With this label, we promise to respect...
● Ecology: - a minimum of 90% organic fibers in our products - an absence of harmful chemicals - a reduction in water and energy consumption - ecological manufacturing from the beginning to the end of the production chain.
● Social: We respect the conventions of the ILO (International Labor Organization) by: - safe working conditions - decent wages - no forced labor or children.
At Luz, we use organic cotton and we are proud that our products have carried this certification since our beginnings. We assure you quality products while respecting social and environmental standards.
You can trust us, at Luz, transparency is our mantra!
OUR GREEN COMMITMENT
Our goal is to develop sustainable and eco-responsible fashion, which is why we are committed to selecting recycled or organic materials.
Abandoned fishing nets account for 70% of plastic waste at sea, posing a huge threat to marine biodiversity.
Econyl uses this resource to make a super fabric ideal for making a multitude of products (swimsuits, bras, leggings, wetsuits, cyclists or even bodysuits).
