DESIGN AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

New Wave Group has a long experience with design and product development. This is always the first step towards sustainable products; regardless of whether it concerns garments or famous crystal art. Our products should keep high quality to enable longevity, which is one of the most important things we can do to cope with the environmental strain caused by a linear industry.
IN-HOUSE QUALITY LABS To ensure the quality of our products, New Wave Group has invested in in-house quality labs. We have professional equipment to perform a wide range of quality tests, such as color fastness, pilling and dimensional changes during washing. Our products should meet the expectations of our customers, as well as our own high expectations.

Did you know that if an average garment could stay in use three times longer than today, its carbon footprint is reduced by 65 % and the water use by 66 %?
