Mammut celebrates the one millionth CO2-neutral T-shirt made from bioRe® organic cotton
Remei is delighted about the successful 10-year partnership with Mammut. We would like to thank the outdoor brand for the good cooperation in which over 1.5 million bioRe® Sustainable Textiles T-shirts have been manufactured. Since 2013 the shirts are produced CO2-neutral and both Swiss companies are now celebrating the 1’000’000th jointly produced T-shirt.
Mammut is committed to sustainable and fair production as part of its WE CARE strategy. Remei is a specialist for a sustainable value chain from fibre to finished textile and has developed an innovative economic model to meet economic, ecological and human rights-based demands in textile production.
The cultivation of organic cotton uses less water and energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions while at the same time promoting soil fertility and biodiversity. Farming organic cotton also ensures that communities enjoy a good quality of life through their investment in sustainable agriculture. Mammut has been using organic cotton for its T-shirts for around 10 years as part of its close collaboration with Remei AG, the exclusive licensee of bioRe®.
The bioRe® brand stands for the highest standards in organic cotton cultivation and fair trading worldwide. The bioRe® Foundation monitors and guarantees compliance with all standards by means of independent, external institutions. Remei further guarantees 100% traceability along the entire production and value chain.
The unique QR code on each product makes tracing possible: back to the store where the shirt was bought, to the manufacturer, the spinning facility, the ginning location and even back to where the seeds were grown.
The jointly produced T-shirts carry the bioRe® Sustainable Textiles quality label, which distinguishes ecologically and fairly produced clothing made from bioRe® organic cotton. Both companies are delighted with the one millionth CO2-neutral T-shirt, which measures up to the high bioRe® requirements.
“We are very proud of this anniversary T-shirt, which underlines Mammut’s long-standing commitment to sustainable production and demonstrates the close collaboration with our partner company Remei,” says Adrian Huber, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Mammut.
Marion Röttges, Co-CEO Apparel and Communication at Remei adds, “We congratulate Mammut on this major milestone. Our long-standing collaboration is very important to us and we look forward to continuing our production of ecologically and fairly produced T-shirts with Mammut, so that we can further support organic cotton farming and the people in the textile chain.”
