FabricSight's Environmental Savings

Every year, 75 millions of tons of textiles products are landfilled. For every kg of fabric, tons of water are used and dozens of kg of CO2 are emitted.

Since it’s foundation, FabricSight focused on sustainability of the textile industry.

By partnering with European mills, we sell sustainable-fibers-based fabrics, or "dead stocks", giving a second life to first quality fabrics that, otherwise, would be landfilled.

By focusing on dead stocks, we aim to avoid any extra environmental impacts, due to new fabrics production, offering to brands, designers and other textile professionals, some “first choice” and no-defect fabrics stocked in European mills. The idea is to give a second life to these fabrics and avoid new equivalent productions, if possible.

Based on this idea, we are proud to contribute to a more sustainable industry with our “Zero Waste” project. With the support of the University of Sao Paolo-Brazil, basing the calculations on the average measurements of dozens of case studies and sources, we created an advanced algorithm, which can calculate the environmental savings (CO2 emissions + water usage) for each meter of the different Dead Stock reference we sell.

The calculations/measurements are balanced on composition (% of each fiber) and fabric weight, giving a final real result of what would be the environmental impact of a new production of that fabric.

“If it has been produced already, why to produce more” is our Motto…
