EPD – A NEW STANDARD

We have started a green revolution

A FIRST STEP IN REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Manufacturing and sales of textiles are global activities that have a major impact on our planet. Environmental impact arises throughout the manufacturing chain – from raw materials to finished product. To be able to reduce the environmental impact you first have to measure it.

Fristads is the first clothing producer in the world to introduce a new standard for measuring the total environmental impact of a garment – from choice of material to delivery of the finished garment. We want to contribute to positive change and greater transparency when it comes to environmental impact.

As part of this initiative we are launching Fristads Green. A new concept where the entire manufacturing chain is characterized by environmental awareness and innovative solutions to minimize the footprint on the environment. In September 2019 the first collection for craftsmen was launched.   Our goal is to offer a Green concept within all product catagories in the next coming years.  

EPD

ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) shows a product’s accumulated environmental effect through its life cycle. Fristads has made the world’s first EPDs for clothing. We have developed a new standard for measuring the total environmental impact of a garment. A standard that can be used throughout the textile industry. EPDs are already used in other product areas, but Fristads is the first to implement it for clothing.

Our Fristads Green products all have a certified EPD  verified according to the demands of the international  EPD®-systemet. You find more information at environdec.com.
