L'écologie et le bien-être comme leviers d'innovation
Gorfoo is an innovative brand with strong environmental values.
Our starting point is not fashion, our starting point is sustainable fabrics.
It all started from this observation : the textile industry is responsible of more than 10% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Synthetic fibers and cotton are predominant, with major negative consequences. And yet, with climate change and the increase of global population, the use of fabrics with a lower impact on the environment
This is why Gorfoo core value is sustainability, with the promotion of eco-friendly fabrics such as :
- Cork, from cork oak tree whose bark regularly renews ;
- Hemp and ramie, ancestral plants with many environmental qualities, which are still grown and traditionally transformed in certain parts of Asia.
Meanwhile, we are conducting research with the purpose of combining ecology and innovation for the development of new textile fibers. In that goal, we closely work with farmers and laboratories.
