Organic silk is the responsible option to traditional silk, as it allows the silkworm to fully develop and continue its life after leaving the cocoon behind. 
The silkworms are fed organic leaves, grown biodynamically without any type of contamination. This ensures silk is free of heavy metals, pesticides and chemical substances.

At Renoon we only accept GOTS certified organic silk that verifies both the textile and supply chain have met the highest standards. 
Organic silk production requires low water and energy usage. It also generates low waste and what remains is repurposed and resold. 

Organic silk is one of the strongest natural fibers, so you can wear it for years. It is rich with essential amino acids and natural proteins allowing our skin and the material to breathe in complete harmony, naturally absorbing excess humidity.

Organic silk fibers are certified as compostable and biodegradable, and thus can fully revert back to nature. 

Organic silk, the material this item is made from, requires low water in its production, benefitting the Earth and saving resources

Q-NOVA® is a conventional petroleum-based synthetic fiber made from regenerated nylon 6.6. 

Q-NOVA® uses post-industrial nylon in its production,  leftover from factories. This material is saved from being disposed of as external waste. Additionally, its production contributes lower carbon emissions and uses less water because of its recycled content. The process does not involve using chemical materials which would detract from the sustainability of the end product. Q-NOVA® is certified by the The Global Recycled Standard (GRS), so you can be confident that their recycling practices are genuine and sustainable. 

Q-NOVA® is a lightweight fabric with the same qualities as fabrics made from Cotton or Polyester. It also has excellent moisture control meaning that the skin stays fresh and dry. It can be dyed a variety of bright colors, adding a pop to your closet.

Q-NOVA® is endlessly recyclable, so when it has retired it can be made into new Q-NOVA® material.

Made with Q-NOVA®, a material obtained from pre-consumption waste: these materials were unusable in any other way and would have been disposed of. This highly ecological product which aims to reduce CO2 emissions, consume less water and use renewable energy.

NuCycl™ is a new kind of engineered and sustainable fiber with extraordinary performance and environmental advantages, made from discarded clothing. 

NuCycl™ uses repolymerization to convert the original fiber molecules into new high performing renewable fibers. They also use the toughest type of textile waste in their fabric – 100% post-consumer. With NuCycl, the textile industry can transform waste into a valuable resource, creating a new and better alternative to burying or burning.

NuCycl™ extends the life cycle of today’s single-use textile fibers in a way that pristine new fibers can be created, again and again.

TENCEL™ branded lyocell and modal fibers are created from sustainably sourced wood, using pulp as raw material. The fabric is produced using an environmentally responsible closed loop production process, meaning its solvent has a recovery rate of more than 99%, so no chemical or organic waste is produced in the process. 

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are naturally soft to the touch and offer long lasting comfort, even for people with sensitive skin. It is described to be twice as soft as cotton. It’s also luxurious in its shine and flow. Because the material is very flexible, the fibers stay in excellent quality, even after repeated washing. The fabric is also known for its exceptional capacity of thermal regulation, keeping you warm in the old and cool in the summer. Along with that, the material is moisture absorbent, perfect for working out and absorbing sweat.

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.

Lab-grown diamonds are different from natural diamonds because of the way they are created, but not in terms of aesthetics and properties.

Lab-grown diamonds are as shiny and beautiful as natural diamonds but are created via an induced crystallization process that happens inside a lab. Their durability and hardness is the same, but their social and environmental impact is massively reduced. Natural diamonds are very rare to find, and are extracted manually from very tiny caves, a procedure which is highly dangerous and most often carried out without regulations and/or safety standards.

Growing diamonds inside laboratories allow for a more responsible process for the same outcome.

Bio acetate is a responsible alternative for frames on your (sun)glasses. Their compound is produced from cotton and wood-pulp fibers, making bio acetate 100% biodegradable and recyclable to contribute to a more sustainable future.

Most sunglasses are made from acetate due to its durability, flexibility and high quality; a natural material but with added oil-based plasticisers. With bio-acetate instead, those plasticisers are entirely biodegradable meaning the material is 100% plant-based with no extra nasties. 
This makes the frames also vegan and cruelty-free.

One of the top producers of bio acetate we have found on Renoon is Mazzucchelli, Italy based.
