Style 1.0 Berlin
By recycling t-shirts to produce our Berlin style rather than using new materials, we avoided the use of 868 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a 60W light bulb turned on for 198 days per garment made.
Style 2.0 Tokyo
When we decided to recycle shirt sleeves for the Tokyo style, we avoided the use of 1,240 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a 60W light bulb turned on for 282 days per garment made.
Style 3.0 Sydney
We weren't going to just use the sleeves of the shirts and then throw the rest away so we came up with another style (Sydney) to recycle the tail of the shirt.
The result: we avoided the use of 1332 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a 60W light bulb turned on for 306 days, for each garment made.
Style 4.0 Stockholm
By choosing to use pieces from recycled sweaters and the pocket of a pair of jeans to make the Stockholm style, we were able to avoid the use of 611 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a 60W light bulb turned on for 346 days, per garment made.
Style 5.0 Hudson
For our Hudson style, we recycled jeans. We were able to avoid the use of 4184 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a 60W light bulb turned on for 957 days, per garment produced.
IT'S HUGE!
Style 7.0 New York
By salvaging leather upholstery from airplane seats and the belts of cars that were destined for the landfill, we prevented the use of 82 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a light bulb turned on for 1,786 days, per bag made.
Style 8.0 Le Vauclin
Using recycled leather from airplane seats and their safety belts, avoided the use of 37 liters of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a light bulb turned on for 1066 days, per bag made.
Style 9.0 Belfast
As we cut our bags from the recycled leather, there were scraps of leather left that we used to make our keychains. This prevented the use of 1 liter of water and the equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by a light bulb turned on for 13 days, per keychain made.
*The data mentioned (water and GHG) were compiled and reviewed by Comité 21 as part of the Montérégie Circulaire program using data and sources published in 2021 in the article "A systematic review of the life cycle inventory of clothing".
