Global fashion retailer C&A has joined the Prince of Wales global ‘Sustainable Cotton Communiqué’. The pledge had been initiated at last year’s Textile Exchange Sustainability Conference and commits apparel brands and retailers to only procure more sustainable cotton . So far, 37 major companies in the fashion industry have signed up to the pledge.

Duesseldorf, 8th of February 2018 – C&A is launching the new campaign #WearTheChange and offers more sustainable collections for the whole family: Like the Gold level Cradle to Cradle Certified™ T-Shirts which are made out of 100% Bio Cotton and produced with renewable energy, better water management as well as advanced water cleaning technologies. Another example of C&A’s more sustainable #WearTheChange collection are jeans made with recycled cotton and jackets produced of recycled polyester, both reducing the waste production as well as the use of virgin raw materials.

C&A Europe is expanding its ‘We Take it Back’ apparel collection programme to Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Consumers in these countries can now bring the clothes and shoes they don’t want to wear anymore to their favourite C&A store to give them a new life.
