Eric Lye Menswear Sustainability Actions

Uses minimal packaging

The brand says it uses very little packaging for finished products because most packaging is thrown away. It also says it reuses deadstock fabric, which means leftover fabric from earlier production runs, as part of its packaging approach. This is meant to cut waste and make better use of materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Tries to cut workshop energy use

The brand says it tries to lower energy use in its workshop by being more careful with heating and air conditioning. It also encourages customers to use chemical-free dry cleaning when caring for garments. These steps are presented as part of its effort to reduce the environmental impact of making and maintaining clothing.

Uses CAD to reduce waste

The brand says it uses Design CAD software, which is computer-aided design, to reduce paper and fabric waste when making patterns and samples. It also says it gives customers sustainable wooden hangers with garments. This suggests the brand is trying to reduce waste during the design stage, not only after clothes are sold.

Reuses fabric, plastic, and cardboard

The brand says it tries to reuse every piece of fabric, plastic, and cardboard where possible. It also says it reuses plastic hangers for future clothing. This is a simple recycling and reuse approach aimed at keeping materials in use for longer and reducing the amount sent to waste.

Works with natural and new materials

The brand says it uses natural fibres such as cotton, hemp, wool, mohair, cashmere, and vicuña. It also mentions acetate and Tencel, which are fibre types used in clothing, and says it wants to add mushroom leather, a plant-based leather alternative. The brand presents this as part of making clothes that last longer and rely less on conventional materials.
