Textile • Responsible materials from Kariban:

Carefully chosen for quality

100% organic cotton in conversion

To promote sustainable production, Kariban is betting on choices such as recycled, organic and cotton in
conversion. This cotton is grown according to the principles of organic farming, but is often more economical than
fully certified organic cotton. Cotton in conversion offers all the benefits of organic cultivation: it preserves and
improves soil fertility, and uses less water and energy than conventional cotton, significantly reducing its impact
on the environment.

The term ‘cotton in conversion’ supports growers making the transition from conventional to organic cultivation.
Encouraging this intermediate step contributes to a wider, global supply of organic cotton and accelerates the
transition to sustainable agriculture.

100% recycled polyester

Kariban is striving for a future where textile production is less harmful to the environment. The collection uses
100% recycled polyester, made from recycled plastic bottles, among other materials. This material offers the same
strength and versatility as new polyester and is perfect for quality garments that last.

Recycling polyester reduces not only the amount of new plastic needed, but also the waste stream. Using
recycled polyester reduces the need for new raw materials and creates less waste. Thus, practical use of
materials is combined with the reliable properties you would expect from Kariban.

100% organic combed cotton

Kariban selects 100% organic combed cotton for a soft, comfortable fabric that feels comfortable on the skin.
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides and artificial fertilisers, contributing to a natural growing
process.

Cotton combing removes short, irregular fibres, leaving the fabric smoother, stronger and softer to the touch. This
process allows the cotton fibres to fit together better, resulting in a sturdy and durable fabric. The result is a high-
quality fabric suitable for everyday use and perfect for professional printing or embroidery.
