Since 2006, we have been producing ecological textiles with the TRIGEMA Change® collection that are Cradle to Cradle® Gold certified. The Cradle to Cradle® concept is based on the system of nature. It is based on closed cycles that do not generate waste and preserve valuable raw materials for us and future generations. The Cradle to Cradle® seal in gold certifies that the product is absolutely recyclable. This means that it can once again become a part of nature from which it was taken. Products with the Cradle to Cradle® Gold seal must be pure enough to be 100% compostable. They do not leave any residues that cannot be naturally degraded.

TRIGEMA Change® – Clothing for a good conscience
TRIGEMA Change® is part of a new strategy towards healthy and environmentally friendly clothing: ecological sports and leisure wear made from 100% organic cotton optimized according to Cradle to Cradle® – from cradle to cradle.
