ОСОЗНАННЫЙ ВЫБОР : A CONSCIOUS CHOICE
What is the correlation between ECOLOGY and QUALITY, and why we choose it for Delonatelo.

A RELATIONSHIP WITH PRODUCT QUALITY.

It is very difficult to say you have a quality product when the answers to these questions are not positive. Quality is no longer about just being well made, or a having high price.
It is a correlation with ecology, ethics & sustainability
A MESSAGE FROM STANLEY/STELLA.
ORGANIC COTTONOrganic cotton is a natural, GMO-free fibre that uses less water than standard cotton. Its production does not involve the use of chemicals (no fertilisers or pesticides) and encourages rotation of crops to keep soil healthier, more fertile and maintain humidity. Waste from the cotton ginning process is also recycled for the animal feed industry. Seeds are retained for sustainability. |
||
Both Stanley/Stella and Continental Clothing Co. have been the largest organic textile licensees of the Organic Soil Association and in the top 10 users of organically grown sustainable cotton. |
RECYCLED COTTONThe idea of throwing cutting waste away out of the question, therefore these materials are collected and recycled into new cotton threads, that in turn are used in new T-shirts, shopper bags and sweatshirts. RECYCLED POLYESTERChips from broken down PET bottles processed into polyester threads, that are woven into textile. |
GRS CERTIFIEDThe Global Recycled Standard label certifies that the materials are 100% recycled. GRS also guarantees compliance with social and environmental criteria such as treatment of waste water, the absence of toxic additives. |
|
Approximately 7-8 PET bottles make up one item of clothing. |
SUSTAINABLE FIBERSTencel™ Lyocell and Modal are biodegradable and made from eucalyptus and beech tree pulp. Eucalyptus is known for being a fast-growing wood that does not require irrigation. The Tencel manufacturing process has received the “European Award for the Environment” from the European Union due to its low emissions. Tencel™ cellulose fibres are sourced exclusively from the Austrian manufacturer Lenzing, the first fibre manufacturer to have received the EU Ecolabel, which promotes environmental excellence. |
PETA CERTIFICATIONWe are very proud to announce that Stanley/Stella and EarthPositive are vegan collections, with approval by the ethical watchdog, PETA. This means that the brands do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and pledge never to do so. The materials themselves are also 100% vegan. |
No animals were harmed during the making of our products. |
OEKO-TEX STANDARD - CHEMICAL FREE, LEAD FREEOEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifies the absence of harmful chemical substances, and restriction on the lead content of dyes. It is an independent testing and certification system that ensures that all raw, semi-finished and finished textile products are checked for certain potentially harmful substances, even where they are not (yet) legally banned |
FAIR WEAR FOUNDATIONBoth our companies are members of the Fair Wear Foundation The Fair Wear Foundation protects factory workers and their families by ensuring safe clean working conditions, fair salaries, and legal employment contracts. |
GOTS CERTIFICATIONGOTS is the strictest certification for textiles made from organic fibres - the Global Organic Textile Standard. GOTS tracks and audits the entire chain of production - from farm to factory - from cotton harvesting, weaving and assembly - to the final product just before it's printed. It even includes the export and import of the clothing. It certifies that the cotton is GMO-free, is grown without use of chemicals, processed and coloured without any banned toxic substances. GOTS also ensures compliance with labour standards in adherence of the International Labour Organisation, ILO, throughout production. |
ZERO WASTEZero Waste is a visionary goal to encourage people to change their lifestyle and practice sustainable natural cycles. The objective is that all discarded or unused materials become resources for the next generation of products. Salvage capsule collection was launched in 2013 with 100% recycled materials and an aim for zero-waste. The collection includes shopper bags, T-shirts and sweatshirts. |
CLIMATE CHANGEADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN FACTORIES means greater efficiency, waste reduction, and water filtering, and the use of wind or solar energy. EarthPositive won the 2011 CLIMATE WEEK AWARDS, for reducing Carbon Footprint by 90%. |
