As sustainability becomes an increasingly pressing issue for industries far and wide, Burberry is honoring Earth Day with a curated edit of 26 eco-conscious styles from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection. Recycled textiles such as fabric scraps and nylon repurposed from fishing nets serve as core materials for the new range.
Every item in the collection, dubbed the “ReBurberry Edit,” bears a special label detailing how the garment meets sustainability related criteria including recycled fiber content, worker health and wage standards and the use of renewable energy in production. The range spans accessories, such as eyewear and bags as well as apparel including outerwear and separates.
By 2022, Burberry aims to produce all its garments using eco-friendly techniques. “We strongly believe that driving positive change through all of our products at every stage of the value chain is crucial to building a more sustainable future for our whole industry.” Pam Batty, Burberry’s Vice President of Corporate Responsibility, said of the initiative.
