Washington DC, March 4, 2024 – Riyze™ Attire selects H.One as its primary knit fabric mill partner. In a groundbreaking leap towards sustainability, H.One and other Mills are weaving a new narrative in fashion, one that marries the innovative recycling of plastic bottles with the cutting-edge use of Sorona, a plant-based polymer. This fusion not only sets a new benchmark for eco-friendly materials but also underscores the fashion industry’s commitment to protecting our planet.
The journey of transforming recycled plastic bottles into fabric is both fascinating and impactful. H.One collects and sort thousands of discarded plastic bottles, that were previously destined for landfills, cleans, shreds into flakes, and melt down to form fibers. These fibers are spun into yarn, creating a durable, flexible, and soft fabric that breathes new life into plastic waste, significantly reducing the environmental footprint of the fashion industry.
Parallel to this, the cultivation and processing of Sorona®, a bio-based polymer derived from plants, is making waves for its low environmental impact and high performance. Sorona® is produced by fermenting plant glucose to create a polymer, which is then spun into fiber. This process uses considerably less energy and releases fewer greenhouse gases compared to traditional synthetic fibers, making Sorona a beacon of sustainability in the textile industry.
By blending fibers made from recycled plastic bottles with Sorona®, mills like H.One are crafting a fabric that is not only eco-friendly but also superior in quality and versatility. This innovative material boasts exceptional softness, durability, and resistance to stretching and fading, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of fashion applications, from activewear to high-end garments.
Our brand has embraced this revolutionary fabric, integrating it into our latest collections as a commitment to earth-first sustainability and innovation. By sourcing our materials from mills that prioritize environmental responsibility, we aim to not only minimize our ecological footprint but also inspire change within the fashion industry and among consumers.
Through our journey from farm to fashion, we seek to highlight the importance of sustainable sourcing and the potential of innovative materials like recycled plastic bottle fabric and Sorona to redefine the fashion landscape. We believe that by making conscious choices in how we create our garments, we can pave the way for a more sustainable future, where fashion and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Join us as we continue to explore and embrace sustainable practices, forging a path toward a greener, more responsible fashion industry. Together, we can make a difference, one garment at a time, proving that true style doesn’t just look good—it does good.
