Brand: Navy Grey Co

Style: The SWEATSHIRT - Vintage Fit

Together with Navy Grey, we crafted a range of timeless organic cotton sweatshirts that will last a lifetime. We selected a high-quality heavyweight fabric that was knitted only a few miles away from the garment factory near Porto. All the labels are made from organic cotton & the packaging is 100% recycled. To minimise environmental impact, these garments are also washed with an innovative waterless washing method. We work in small production runs, which ensures that there's little to no waste caused by overproduction.

CIRCULAR DESIGN GUIDE

Explore our principles of circular design & unlock the secrets that power Lyfcycle garments.

At Lyfcycle, we follow a framework of circular design principles when creating clothing that cares. We want to share our design guide with the world to encourage others to integrate circular thinking into their business.

Our guide is made for industry professionals who are seeking to integrate sustainability into clothing design and production. Here, we present actionable principles to help you craft garments that align with the future of environmental responsibility. 

WELCOME TO OUR GUIDE

Embrace minimalism, avoiding superfluous elements to reduce waste and simplify repurposing or recycling.

3. EFFICIENCY

Optimise the use of materials and resources to minimise waste at every stage of the production process.

4. BIODEGRADABILITY

Prioritise natural materials that are biodegradable or compostable, ensuring garments can be safely broken down.

5. RECYCLABILITY

Encourage the reuse and recycling of garments and accessories by designing with disassembly in mind.

6. TRACEABILITY

Implement traceability measures to offer full disclosure on the origins, materials, and manufacturing processes.

7. NEUTRALITY

Prioritise materials and processes that minimise carbon emissions throughout the garment's lifecycle.

8. CIRCULARITY

Incorporate materials that can be recycled into new products, supporting closed-loop models.

9. GREEN ALCHEMY
