Ellis Label
Ellis Label is a fashion brand that produces garments made-to-order or in limited runs using natural and limited rolls of fabrics. It works closely with local suppliers. Each piece is cut by hand and leftover materials are repurposed.
ImpacTex
ImpacTex is New Zealand’s only full-circle multi-textile recovery and recycling operation. It collaborates with local innovators to transform textile waste into products like signage, corporate gifts, desk tops and acoustic panelling. These products are fully recyclable.
Lof
Lof’s Wool Hoop programme transforms local ‘waste’ wool into a renewable, repairable and compostable lighting product. It’s designed and made in New Zealand and farmers are paid fairly.
Orba Shoes
Orba Shoes is redesigning the materials used in footwear to avoid plastics and petrochemicals. Each pair of shoes is made from renewable, plant-based components - from non-toxic adhesives and fabric protectants to compostable packaging.
Ruby
RUBY Says Recycle is a circular fashion programme created by fashion brand RUBY. It’s New Zealand’s first second-hand, own-brand clothing store. It promotes the resale of Ruby clothing. Customers can return clothes in exchange for a voucher.
Steaddi
Steaddi makes biodegradable shoelaces from strong wool. The shoelaces, called Woo Lace, can dispose in three to four months, returning nutrients to the soil instead of contributing to landfill.
