This item is made of a 64% recycled polyester fabric.

Recycled polyester is a more environmentally friendly choice than virgin polyester as it reduces both the demand put upon natural resources and the impacts generated by the extraction of non-renewable fossil fuels. Preventing waste from ending up in landfills, recycled materials also contribute to a circular economy.

Polyester is a synthetic fiber that comes from fossil fuels, a non-renewable resource that is extracted from the earth. The production of these fibers is a high-impact process, requiring chemicals and energy, as well as generating high greenhouse gases emissions. If any waste water is not treated properly, hazardous chemicals can be released into the environment. Switching to recycled polyester reduces the need for virgin resource extraction; reduce water, chemical, energy consumption; and lessens GHG emissions.

Most recycled polyester comes from recycled plastic bottles, which are mechanically recycled into chips, melted and extruded to create a yarn that is then knitted or woven into textiles. Even though recycled polyester from plastic waste lessens GHG emissions and reduces natural resources consumption, it has its limitations; in fact it can't be recycled mechanically a second or multiple times as the quality of the fibers gets weaker. Our objective is to support a transition to textile-to-textile recycling via chemical recycling, as to reduce the amount of waste ending up in landfill and preserve the quality of the fiber.

The other growing concern of polyester/recycled polyester fabrics is microfibers shedding, which is the release of fibrous microplastics in marine habitats. To support the reduction of microplastic shedding, we encourage the following actions:
1. Wash Less.
2. Use a colder washing cycle.
3. Use a washing bag to capture microfibers from ending up in water streams, and also to preserve the quality of your clothes.
4. Install a microfiber filter in your washing machine.

garment care

Follow the care instructions below to get the most out of your piece.

Join us in revolutionising laundry practices by checking out clevercare to learn how to reduce climate impact while caring for your favourite Nanushka items.

Machine wash warm (30°)

Wash your item at a lower temperature, not only to preserve the fabric for longer, but to save energy, too.

The permanent press setting washes your clothes in a way that minimizes wrinkling.

Try to be mindful of the quantity of detergent used. More detergent does not mean cleaner garments, but can actually cause more damage to water streams and the environment.

Do not bleach.

To maintain the quality of your item, do not use any bleach.

Look out for the symbol on the care label to know what type of bleach - if any - you can use on your garments.

To avoid shrinking, do not tumble dry.

By hang drying your laundry soon after washing, you can save energy, minimize creasing and your clothes will stay in shape and last longer.

Do not iron.

Gentle dry clean any solvent, except Trichloroethylene.

Make sure you keep the care label on the garment, so the dry cleaner will know how to better care for it.

Ask your dry cleaner how they contribute to sustainability and environmental protection.
