ERIBÉ Sustainability: Crafted with a Conscious Approach
At ERIBÉ, a considered and mindful approach to our craft is key. We're proud to create knitwear that's not only crafted for life but also kind to the planet. This commitment extends to everyone in our supply chain, ensuring our suppliers and partners meet high environmental and ethical standards.
-
Our commitment to quality means we only use 100% natural, ethically sourced wool. Wool is one of the best sustainable fibres because it's naturally durable, renewable and biodegradable.
-
From our ERIBÉ factory in the Scottish Borders, Our state-of-the-art washing machines use minimal water and soft Scottish water, which allows us to use fewer chemicals. The high spin cycle has also helped us reduce drying time.
-
We’ve replaced our plastic garment bags with dissolvable biodegradable bags made from D2 which leaves no microplastic trace. We use pins and cotton strings to attach swing tags rather than plastic kimbles. We also re-use boxes for raw material deliveries until they fall apart.
-
To counter fast fashion,we only make to order for our wholesale customers, ensuring no excess is produced that would end up in a landfill. Any leftover panels are either re-wound into yarn or sold to a local small business for dog coats.We also mend faulty garments whenever possible to prevent remaking.
-
Leftover yarn and discontinued colours are used to make scarves and garments. These are then sold at a discount or given to charities.
-
ERIBÉ knitwear isn't just a garment; it's an investment to be loved for years to come. We create timeless designs and two thoughtful collections a year,building pieces that outlast short-lived trends. This is how we ensure every ERIBÉ piece reflects our 40-year commitment to quality, sustainability and mindful creation.
