Italian mill and Welsh brand partner on micro-plastic free, biodegradable collection
17/03/2020
The limited-edition collection is made with Candiani's patented, plant-based Coreva Stretch technology, which is created using organic cotton wrapped around a natural rubber core resulting in a fabric that is free from plastics and micro-plastics.
Replacing the synthetic and petrol-based elastomers with the custom-engineered component is said to result in a fully biodegradable stretch denim fabric without compromising elasticity and recovery properties.
“When Candiani Denim, one of the most innovative and sustainable denim mills in the world, reached out to us as one of the brands to launch a collection with their new COREVA™ biodegradable stretch denim, we were super honoured and excited”, says David Hieatt, Co-founder of Hiut Denim Co.
Alberto Candiani, owner of the Candiani family mill said: "In a world where resources are diminishing and landfills are overflowing with discarded garments, it’s our duty to look for renewable resources, in addition to biodegradable and compostable materials.”
