Zara clothing to be made using 100 per cent sustainable fabrics by 2025
Spanish fashion retailer Zara has announced that 100 per cent of the cotton, linen and polyester used in its clothing will be more sustainable, organic or recycled by 2025.
Zara's holding group, Inditex ? the world's third largest clothing company according to Forbes ? made the sustainability pledge at its annual shareholders' meeting on 16 July.
The company stated that it will only use cotton, linen and polyester that is "organic, more sustainable or recycled", as one of a number of sustainable targets for the next six years.
"Sustainability is a never-ending task"
Cotton, linen and polyester ? along with viscose, which the company plans to make more sustainable by 2023 ? make up 90 per cent of all raw materials purchased by the brand. The target will be enacted by all eight of Inditex's brands ? Zara, Zara Home, Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear, Bershka, Uterqüe, Oysho and Stradivarius.
"Sustainability is a never-ending task in which everyone here at Inditex is involved and in which we are successfully engaging all of our suppliers," said Inditex chairman and CEO Pablo Isla.
"Our digital transformation and determined progress towards the most demanding sustainability standards are complementary and underpinned by the efficiency of our long-standing business model, which is based on offering our customers the best in quality fashion."
