Design & Product development
Sustainable products
New Wave Group has a broad experience in design and product development, which is the first step towards sustainable products – whether a welldesigned promo wear or famous crystal art.
We believe in classic design and good quality products – a concept that will never be out-of-fashion. Quality is a good way to ensure long-lasting use and sustainable consumption. While fashion is subject to constant change – quality remains a constant value.
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS A good material is fundamental for quality assurance. New Wave Group aims to introduce more sustainable and eco-friendly materials within our range of products. We would like to increase the amount of products from sustainable sources and help our customers to add social and environmental perspectives to their purchasing.
Organic cotton is a good example of an eco-friendly material. It is grown without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic agricultural fertilizers, which makes organic cotton more sustainable for both humans and the environment.
Unfortunately, less than 1 % of the global cotton production is grown organically. This does not correspond to the increasing demand, which could jeopardize the supply of organic raw material. To support the development of organic production, New Wave Group has aligned with Textile Exchange. Textile Exchange is a non-profit organization that operates internationally to achieve a responsible expansion of organic cotton production. Our membership allows us to take part of valuable advice in our quest for more sustainable products. We hope this journey will be encouraged by our customers as well.
Cotton is just one example of material that could decrease its environmental impact. Another important material is glass, which historically could involve the use of several hazardous substances. Orrefors Kosta Boda has conducted active environmental work for a long time and has been world leading in its ambition to create crystal glass without lead and arsenic. This glass is sometimes referred to as“ eco-crystal”- but in Kosta Glassworks it is simply the material we have chosen for all Kosta-production.
Textile Exchange is an international organization working for responsible expansion of the textile industry.
