Sustainablity

Environmental

Supacore has made significant efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.

Our production process involving seamless knitting technology consumes 35 % less energy than competitors using the traditional cut and sew method. Seamless knitting ( created directly from yarns) can reduce waste as there are no scraps or offcuts produced during the production process. Additionally, seamless knitting improves the durability and longevity of garments, reducing the need for frequent replacements. With minimal post knitting operations a sustainable garment is created.

The company has set a target to reduce its use of manmade fibres by introducing more sustainable fibres like organic cotton, recycled polyester, and or bamboo.

Our goal is to convert our entire range by 2025 to sustainable fibres.

Additionally, seamless knitting can improve the durability and longevity of garments, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

 Other initiatives include investing in compostable packaging which can be broken down through a composting process and turned into nutrient-rich soil. And initiating minimalist packaging which uses as little material as possible to protect the product and reduce waste.
