Sustainability

As important as producing quality yarns is the production process through which they are obtained. That’s why at Arifil, we are fully aware that, above all, we must carry out our activity in a sustainable, traceable, and, to the extent possible, circular manner, rationalizing the use of natural and energy resources and minimizing the generation of waste of any kind, so as to minimize our impact on the environment.

Principles that underpin sustainability in our Spinning in Green process

Local manufacturing

In our collections, we strive to include items that are entirely made in Europe, from raw material production and dyeing to yarn manufacturing, ensuring:

01.

Responsibility towards the market

Traceability and transparency of the supply chain

02.

Social responsibility

Decent working conditions in a safe environment that promote human and professional development.

03.

Environmental responsibility

Reduction of the carbon footprint and compliance with EU regulations

Use of recycled, organic and sustainable raw materials.

Recycled raw materials

Recycled cotton: We prevent textile waste from going to landfill or incineration; Using these recycled fibers reduces the use of chemicals and water and CO2 emissions to a minimum.

Recycled polyester: Fiber from recycling PET bottles.

Organic and sustainable cotton

Organic cotton: natural fiber that comes from organic farming, which respects the environment and does not use artificial chemicals or genetically altered seeds.
Organic cotton does not use synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or herbicides. Its production takes care of the planet, the health of consumers and the conditions of producers.

BCI Cotton: The cultivation of this Better Cotton Initiative certified cotton is carried out under control of both the cultivation and the conditions of the workers directly involved.

Sustainable cellulosic fibers

TENCEL™ Lyocell: TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are derived from controlled or certified wood sources using a unique, resource-saving closed-loop production process, resulting in near-zero waste.

Dyeing of mass raw materials with low impact processes

In those cases in which the color is provided through dyeing, this is done on the fiber, before being spun, which allows greater color homogeneity to be achieved, since the entire structure of the fiber is dyed, in addition to It is a much more sustainable technology than other forms of conventional dyeing: water and energy savings of around 50% can be achieved; Due to the lower consumption of chemical products, less wastewater is generated and with a lower contaminant load.

Certifications and Standards

Certificación Organic Blended Content Standard

It applies to any non-food product that contains between 5 and 100 percent organic material. Thanks to OCS we can give the industry assurance that traceability is complete from organic crops to final sale.

Certificación Global Recycled Standard CU1010531

This certification not only establishes traceability requirements, but also investigates social, environmental, chemical materials management and quality aspects.

Its main objective is to increase the use of recycled materials in a traceable, controlled and truthful way.

Certificación bettercotton

Initiative for better cotton. As a member of BCI we join the commitment and objectives of this organization

Reduce the environmental impact of cotton production
Improve livelihoods and economic development in cotton-producing areas
Improve Better Cotton engagement and flow throughout the supply chain
Ensure the credibility and sustainability of the Better Cotton Initiative

The Oeko-tex certificate is the guarantee that the manufactured textile products meet the conditions of not being made with materials that may be harmful to the health of the people who use them. Textiles without harmful substances.

Certificación AENOR Registred Company

Arifil complies with the UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System standard.
