But what are they?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nOrganic cotton, linen, jute are materials that you probably already know. But what about the rest… We reassure you, we didn’t know much about them before writing this article !<\/p>\n
We hope it will also enlighten you on the subject!<\/p>\n

Hemp is a plant that grows very quickly and on different soils. France is the leader in the production of this plant. Organic hemp is used to make hypo-allergenic and durable clothing that does not deform.<\/p>\n
It absorbs humidity and insulates from outside temperatures. It is the most ecological natural material in responsible ethical fashion and in the world of textiles.<\/p>\n
TENCEL™ Lyocell<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n![\"le](\"https:\/\/e2r-paris.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/le-Tencell-Lyocell-300x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nTENCEL™ Lyocell<\/strong> is the holy grail of fibers for fabrics. Made by Austrian company Lenzing, TENCEL™ Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber with properties almost identical to cotton. It\u2019s part of the Rayon family, made from renewable wood materials.<\/p>\nTENCEL™ is manufactured from Eucalyptus trees, which grow fast and thick on low-grade land. It takes just half an acre to grow enough trees for one ton of TENCEL™ fiber. Cotton needs at least five times as much land\u2014plus, it must be good quality farmland. TENCEL™ production is done without the use of pesticides or insecticides (unlike its dirty cousin, cotton).<\/p>\n
While Eucalyptus trees don\u2019t need irrigation, water is still used to process the pulp and turn it into TENCEL™ fiber. Lenzing estimates its water use at 155 gallons per pound of fiber, which is 80% less than cotton.<\/p>\n

THE Q-NOVA\u00ae :<\/strong><\/h3>\nTHE Q-NOVA\u00ae\u00a0<\/strong><\/a> is a textile fibre made from a minimum of 50% recycled nylon, also known as polyamide 6-6. It is a registered trademark of the Italian company Fulgor, which recovers nylon scraps directly from its production site in Italy and recycles them instead of throwing them away.<\/p>\nQ-NOVA\u00ae fibre is considered an eco-responsible and resistant material, and is used by responsible lingerie and tights brands in particular.<\/p>\n
Nylon is a synthetic chemical material that is polluting because it is derived from oil. Indeed, the production of virgin nylon is very energy and water consuming. It is responsible for air pollution, but also for marine eco-systems, in particular because of the plastic micro-particles that detach from nylon clothes when they are washed in the washing machine. Recycled nylon in the form of Q-NOVA\u00ae is eco-responsible, as it limits the negative environmental impact of virgin nylon and reduces our dependence on petro-sourced materials.<\/p>\n
The manufacturing process for Q-NOVA\u00ae fibre is purely mechanical, requiring no chemicals.<\/p>\n
1kg of Q-NOVA\u00ae saves 25 litres of oil and 159 litres of water compared to virgin nylon or polyamide*.<\/p>\n
Q-NOVA\u00ae saves up to 80% of CO2 emissions compared to virgin nylon or polyamide*.<\/p>\n
Q-NOVA\u00ae fibre is certified by several reliable labels of responsible fashion: Global Recycled Standard (GRS), the European Ecolabel, and Oeko Tex 100.<\/p>\n
