ANDRS SUSTAINABILITY
•ANDRS ZIPS•
Andrs zips are made from recycled plastic from the ocean.
An environmental crisis is occurring in our oceans. Each year millions of metric tons of plastic enter the ocean where it harms marine life. NATULON® Ocean Sourced® helps address the problem by offering new life to ocean bound plastic waste.
NATULON® Ocean Sourced® diverts ocean bound plastic from waterways and waste streams within 50 kilometers of coastlines in countries that do not have municipal waste management or collection systems, addressing one of the primary sources of ocean plastics.
•ANDRS FABRIC•
Our products are made from responsibly sourced cotton made through low impact manufacturing. Waxed cotton is durable and has longevity — it is built to last. The densely woven cotton is strong and reliable and unlike many alternatives, can be maintained by the end user.
Garments can be proofed to keep up performance and protection levels, ensuring they last for many years.
Oilskin is made to last with characteristics that are strong and durable. The material we use is responsibly sourced cotton and created with low impact manufacturing. The nature of oilskin is to become breathable in warm weather and stiffer in the cold making it perfect for all occasions.
Waxed cotton products also have a unique character. The wax naturally picks up marks and creases through use, which adds to the character of the fabric itself.
•ANDRS MANUFACTURING•
Our products are all handmade with a focus on sustainability. Our aim is to support and help to grow the Tasmanian industry locally rather than use offshore manufacturing. Our products celebrate hand crafted techniques and support slow fashion. We work with small batch production to minimise waste and re-use our offcuts for our hand sewn labels and smaller designs.
