Our Environmental Initiatives
-
Plant wastewater treatment
We use advanced wastewater treatment to reduce wastewater discharge to less than half the discharge standard. We are also examining how to recycle wastewater in the future.
-
Using recycled materials
Sakae Lace Group has got Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification. We manufacture lace with environmentally-friendly materials.
-
Using environmentally-friendly materials
Sakae Lace Group manufactures lace by using organic cotton, recycled and bio-based fibers, materials that bring low environmental impact.
Organic cotton is an environmentally-friendly fiber that is grown without using pesticides or insecticides and prevent soil pollution.
Recycled and bio-based fibers, such as rayon and cupra, are plant-based synthetic fibers that are close to natural fibers.
They are biodegradable, meaning that they can be decomposed and returned to the soil by microorganisms that exist in the nature, and are thus eco-friendly.
Stoles of our prestigious brand (LeLaSa) also made of organic cotton and recycled fibers.
