The Sustainability Report is an annual indication for our company to evaluate our commitment to sustainability and transparency. Can Pep Rey is a growing company, with a small team of employees working together to reach seasonal goals. We are aware of the fashion industries impact on our planet, this is why we are working hard to research, discuss and make conscious decisions. We are not perfect, but we are aware of the changes we all need to make. By reducing our footprint, we will create a brand for the future.
We believe in a change and are committed to making more responsible choices. It is clear that humans are emitting too much carbon into the atmosphere, which makes the climate crisis seem impossible to confront. This is why informing one another and making our planets preservation a priority is key to us. By using pre-orders, dead stock fabric, recycled and eco-fibres and sustainable packaging we are making small steps, for a greener future. Transparency can be overshadowed by greenwashing jargon, but at Can Pep Rey we want our community to know more about each garment and its environmental impact. We have a customer care email, a detailed garment care section and our magazine platform is used to discuss different climate change issues.
Our design team has worked on keeping 30% of the collection our Classic items: Unisex T-shirt, Classic Sweatshirt. This helps our consumers build their wardrobe essentials with quality garments that will last a lifetime. The collections are designed with the longevity of each garment in mind.
Since 2020 we have been focusing on the exclusive use of natural fibers; Pure Natural fibres: Cotton, Wool; Mixed Natural fibres: Cotton/ Silk, Cotton/ Tencel, Tencel / Wool, Cupro / Tencel, Wool / Cashmere; Natural with synthetic: Cotton/ Elastane (2%) Viscose/ Elastane (5%) Modal / Eastane (9%) Alpaca Wool/ Rec. Polyester (25%)
Each season we make it our mission to use up any leftover textiles for designs. This ensures that we do not waste quality fabrics, giving customers the opportunity to repurchase fabrics and styles they liked from previous seasons. Left over materials: 3 projects - 270 meters of leftover materials. Reused old stock: For our Spring/Summer ’22 Ibiza Pop-Up we used our old stock of the Classic Can Pep Rey T-shirts and Sweatshirts to come up with new, creative graphics. This resulted in a special capsule collection which we designed entitled ‘No Hay Prisa Es Ibiza’. No waste involved, just sorting through the stock room and coming up with designs to bring new meaning to old garments.
