Sustainability and Certifications

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of our mission, which not only involves sourcing sustainable raw materials free from hazardous substances but also prioritizes the health of our workers and the environment around us. The development of new printing technologies allows Urban to be a collection of printed fabrics resulting from eco-sustainable, water-free, and low-energy-consuming processes. Sublitex has always been sensitive to the issue of eco-sustainability, as evidenced by our ongoing investments in research and new technologies. We are excited to announce the release of our second Sustainability Report, demonstrating our concrete commitment to responsible and transparent management. Our mission extends beyond purchasing sustainable and non-hazardous raw materials; it is also focused on reducing processing waste and recycling finished product scraps, aiming for a fully circular economy.
