What materials do you use?Updated 5 months ago

The production of materials generates most of the fashion industry's carbon footprint. For this reason, we choose materials with the lowest environmental impact, from nature and even from waste, to create garments that do not put our resources and those of future generations at risk.

In Thinking MU we use the transparency and traceability tool BCOME in all our collections, with which, with a simple 'click', you can get data on the impact on the planet and people that has generated the production of each of our garments.

The materials we use are:

• Organic cotton: it is grown in fields of fertile and living soil, without pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and is spun and processed without chemicals.
  The cultivation respects the cycles of the soil, preserving and promoting its fertility for future uses and consumes 91% less water than conventional cotton cultivation. And the cotton is always non-genetically modified.
  The absence of toxic residues in the cotton also makes the garment softer, more resistant and breathable, and reduces the possibility of allergic reactions.
  100% of the cotton used in our garments is organic or recycled. And 100% of the organic cotton is either GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OCS (Organic Content Standard) certified.
• Recycled or regenerated cotton: one of the most sustainable and respectful materials in all its processes, resulting from the conversion of cotton fabric into fibers that can be reused in new textile products.
  It can be obtained from the remains of clothing manufacturing (post-industrial origin) or already used garments (post-consumer origin). All our recycled cotton is post-consumer and GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified .
• Hemp: Hemp is a 100% vegetable fabric of organic origin. In addition, this plant grows very fast and all of it is used, so there is no waste. No chemicals are used in its cultivation and it leaves the soil in very good conditions for the following crops.
• Tencel: a state-of-the-art natural fiber obtained from wood pulp, mostly from eucalyptus but also from pine, beech or fir. The result is a very soft fabric that regulates body temperature, is highly resilient and absorbent.
  All our tencel is from Lenzing Group, recognized by the international environmental non-profit organization CDP for its transparency and performance in the areas of climate, forest and water safety and has been included in the annual "A List". Lenzing is one of twelve companies worldwide rated with an outstanding "AAA" rating.
  Lenzing sources wood and pulp for dissolving from sustainably managed forests and plantations and not from old, protected or threatened forests. Lenzing's biorefinery process ensures that 100 percent of the wood components are used to produce soluble pulp for the production of fiber, biorefinery products and bioenergy.
  All of its fibers are compostable and biodegradable in soil and water.
• Refibra: a revolutionary textile solution made from discarded cotton fabrics and responsibly harvested wood pulp. This regenerated cellulose fiber is also from Lenzing Group.
• Ecovero: It is produced from wood pulp from ecologically protected, specially processed forests that is used to make soft, silky fabrics. This biodegradable fiber is also from Lenzing Group.
• Post-consumer recycled polyester: produced from plastic waste collected from the environment, mainly from the sea and landfills, thus contributing to a lower environmental impact in its manufacture.
  In the production of recycled polyester fabric, energy consumption, emission of harmful gases (75% less CO2) and water consumption are minimized compared to the production of virgin polyester. It reduces dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, and helps promote new recycling streams for polyester waste.
  Our post-consumer recycled polyester is GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified.
• SeaCell: a new eco-friendly fabric made by blending tree cellulose with Laminaria digitata, a type of brown algae. They are spun together to make fabrics.
• Wool: A 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable fiber. Its production consumes little energy, as the lambs are raised outdoors, and when it is no longer useful for either the animal or people, it can be composted to fertilize soils.
  Our knitwear is made with wool from Italy and manufactured in Spain, or with wool from China and produced in the same country.
• Corn leather: fabric obtained from the fibers of the corn cob. The result is a very soft and light vegan leather. It is used for shoes and other accessories.

All our dyes are water-based biodegradable and do not harm the ecosystem.
