Our Products
The Verdois supply chain emphasises sustainability from the production of our products to their delivery to our customers
product selection
We choose our products by utilising three selection criteria to ensure their alignment with the Verdois brand, our goals and our stakeholder requirements.
Product Standards
Sustainable
Fundamentally, for a product to be considered by Verdois, it must inherently be sustainable. This means that the fabric must originate from a renewable source, maintain biodegradability and recyclability.
Ethical
Ethical sourcing remains central to Verdois’ product selection. This ensures that all employees throughout the supply chain are treated fairly and the product’s production does not negatively impact any stakeholder.
Durable
A product’s durability is critical to its environmental friendliness. Products that endure for greater time periods ensure the elimination unnecessary clothing production, perpetuated by fast-fashion.
Verdois Product Materials
All products offered by Verdois use sustainable materials. These materials range from Dupont™ Sorona to Organic Cotton.
Dupont™ Sorona®
Dupont™ Sorona® is sourced from harvested crops which are transformed into a woven material through the fermentation process. This circumvents the requirement for chemicals used to produce other clothing materials. The fabric requires up to 40% less energy to manufacture and produces up to 56% less greenhouse gas emissions to that of nylon.
Merino Wool
Our Merino Wool is sourced from sheep raised in Australia and New Zealand which implement the highest standards of animal welfare worldwide. The fabric is among the most sustainable due to its durability, renewability, biodegradability and recyclability. Its durability makes it a critical material to the future of clothing production.
Eastman Naia™
Eastman Naia™ is a fabric produced from the cellulose fibres of plants and trees. These fibres are sourced from FSC™ and PEFC™ accredited forests, and maintain biodegradability conformity marks from TÜV AUSTRIA. It provides a comfortable feel while remaining machine washable and quick drying.
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton circumvents the detrimental environmental and societal influences of its non-organic counterpart. Its production reduces irrigation requirements by 88% and energy requirements by 62%. Concurrently, the absence of chemicals from the production process brings dual benefits in the form of a safer working environment for growers and a more durable fabric.
