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 %?
