Origins

We at Eliius exemplify a commitment to sustainability by sourcing fabrics that are both eco-friendly and aligned with their dedication to quality, durability, and functionality. Their selection of Bemberg, Lyocell, and GOTS-certified organic cotton reflects a conscientious approach to fashion that prioritizes environmental responsibility without compromising on style or performance.

Bemberg, a type of cupro fabric, is derived from regenerated cellulose fibers sourced from cotton linter, a byproduct of cotton processing. This closed-loop production process recycles solvents, minimizing waste and environmental impact. Bemberg is biodegradable, offering a luxurious feel akin to silk, and is free from harmful substances, as evidenced by its Oeko-Tex® certification. Certification standards like these also ensure that nearly 100% of workers in certified supply chains receive fair wages and work under ethical conditions.

Lyocell is produced from sustainably sourced wood pulp, such as eucalyptus, beech, or spruce. The manufacturing process employs a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents, significantly reducing environmental impact. Lyocell is biodegradable and known for its softness, breathability, and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of apparel. Choosing biodegradable fabrics like Lyocell instead of polyester can avoid around 70–80% of the plastic waste typically generated by synthetic textiles over a year. Organic cotton and use of materials like Lyocell also cut CO₂ emissions by roughly 1.2–1.6 kg per kg of fabric compared to conventional processes.

While Synthetic textiles are estimated to contribute roughly 35% of ocean microplastic pollution, use of Lyocell minimizes pollution by upto 90%.

Eliius's use of GOTS-certified organic cotton underscores their commitment to ethical sourcing and environmental stewardship. This fabric is soft, breathable, and versatile, suitable for various clothing items, and aligns with Eliius's dedication to sustainable fashion.

Also, organic farming practices can minimize water usage can reduce water usage by up to 91% compared to conventional cotton production, also using land upto 30% more efficiently.
