In honour of Earth Day 2020, Burberry has launched the ReBurberry Edit — a selection of 26 styles made from sustainable materials.
The eco-conscious edit features pieces from the British brand’s spring/summer 2020 collection; including the signature Burberry trench, capes, parkas and accessories which have been reinvented using the latest innovations in sustainable material science.
The a recycled nylon, Econyl — made from regenerated fishing nets, fabric scraps and industrial plastic — has been used to create trench coats, while additional outwear has been crafted using a new nylon that has been developed from renewable resources such as castor oil, and a polyester yarn made from recycled plastic bottles.
Parkas and capes are also made at facilities that reduce energy and water, use textile recycling and chemical management programmes — with the brand considerin g all sustainable and responsible practices; from carbon emissions standards to social initiatives such as workers being paid the living wage.
As a part of the sustainable initiative, Burberry have also issued a global roll-out of pistachio-coloured labels that inform consumers of each garments credentials; listing the organic content, use of natural fibres and its delivery against carbon emissions standards at production facilities.
The ReBurberry Edit continues the house's push to be completely carbon neutral and improve sustainable attributes by 2022. Shop the edit here; Burberry.com
