TACKLING THE FASHION MODEL, FAST.
The fashion and clothing industry has long been guilty of irresponsible sourcing of raw materials, high
levels of pollu�on and extra-ordinary amounts of waste. And ‘fast fashion’ is in the darkest shadows of
this tradi�on.
The sector consistently fails to replenish what it takes, wastes much of what it overproduces and
dumps surpluses on developing economies, undercu�ng their jobs. It overuses toxic chemicals and
harms both the environment and human health.
Opportuni�es for change are enormous.
A REVOLUTION IN THE RAG TRADE
Kingly Ltd are a leading producer of retail goods and promo�onal merchandise including socks, T-shirts
and towels. And Kingly is pioneering the closed circular loop in their sector. They’re leading the charge
to make clothing produc�on environmentally sustainable
It’s founder and CEO, Rob Armour, had a successful career in the
garments industry. But he became increasingly frustrated with the
disregard for the environment shown by so many producers.
He knew there was a be�er way. Star�ng his own business seemed
the obvious solu�on.
Resources are ethically sourced and in produc�on, all surpluses,
waste and trimmings are recycled or upcycled. Organic co�ons
come only from regions where water consump�on does not
impact on local need; and synthe�c fibres (polyester and nylon)
will be 100% post-consumer from April 2021. For other products,
for example, hand sani�zer gel, bo�les are 100% recycled plas�c –
100% R-PET.
100% POST-CONSUMER
Recycled Polyester
This is a 100% recycled polyester yarn. The recycling process is ecologically sustainable
since it is obtained from recovered plastic bottles.
