Our methods
Biologically grown
Clothing from organic materials, as in our case made of organic cotton, are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. As a result, water, air, and earth remain clean. In addition, water and energy consumption are monitored and are significantly lower than with conventional cultivation.
Biologically produced items of clothing made of organic cotton also have the advantage that they rarely trigger allergies. So they are more tolerated for the skin and even feel still Soft as conventional cotton.
Biodegradable
The point of biological degradation is very important. Because clothing from degradable textiles are among the most environmentally friendly options in textile production.
Natural fibers, such as the organic cotton and viscose used by us, are biodegradable in their initial state and are therefore particularly sustainable-not least because they consist of renewable raw materials.
In the case of environmentally friendly materials such as natural fibers, care is taken to ensure that no harmful chemicals or adverse methods are used throughout the cultivation and production process.
Water -saving
The water available to us is precious. Only 2.5% of the water on earth is fresh water, most of which is located deep below the earth's surface. This remains only a very small amount of water, which all people and living things have to supply on our home planet. If we want to prevent global water shortages, we should now strive for a responsible use of water at the latest.
Unfortunately, a number of liters of water also flow in the production of clothing. After all, the water consumption can be reduced by using environmentally friendly materials and production methods. We are happy that only the latest water-saving washing technologies are used in our production facility in Portugal.
Less co2-Missions
Also the CO2Fortunately, emissions are reduced by the use of the new and sustainable technologies, laundries and processing methods in the Portuguese production facility. In combination with the other methods described, we manage to create fashion pieces that have a lower co2-Fußprint have as conventionally produced items of clothing.
We are proud of our manufactory in Thailand and the positive changes that we can observe on site. The fair wages and working conditions in particular make a big difference for our employees: inside.
Nevertheless, we are also aware that Thailand is not exactly “around the corner” and that the transport of the fashion pieces produced there are not insignificant emissions into our warehouse in Germany.
However, we work meticulously to find innovative and sustainable solutions. In addition, we keep the remaining corporate emissions that are incurred as low as possible-for example due to the location of our team in Germany, including the approach of keeping office space as small as possible, as well as our internal, exclusively digital work without paper; Or also through our environmentally friendly packaging and climate -neutral shipping (see below).
Clean color
The coloring of textiles has no particularly good reputation, since it is environmentally harmful to the chemicals used. Toxic wastewater, which contains lead and mercury, reaches seas and lakes and endangers the water dwellers there. The health of millions of people living near these water systems also suffers from these.
At Paigh, we use fabrics that we regularly check their cleanliness by an independent German laboratory so that there are no harmful toxins and the effects on the environment are lower.
Our packaging
Ordered PAIGH fashion pieces are hit in tissue paper and then packed in a flexibly expandable shipping bag, provided the number of items of the order allows. This method enables us not to send air, save space in the transport vehicles and thus also significantly less CO2 to produce.
The delivery of our fashion pieces is via DHL Gogreen and is 100% climate -neutral.
