Le Temps des Cerises Sustainability Actions

Reduced chemicals in dyeing

Almost 15 years ago already, Le Temps des Cerises introduced a series of environmental initiatives focusing on the way its jeans were manufactured: Reduced use of chemicals during the indigo dyeing process.

Ended pumice stone use

Almost 15 years ago already, Le Temps des Cerises introduced a series of environmental initiatives focusing on the way its jeans were manufactured: Putting an end to use of pumice stone during the rinsing and finishing stages.

OEKO-TEX® labelling in collection

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Q1267/1 IFTH labelling of our jeans (this represents 50% of our collection).

Wastewater purification suppliers

Only working with suppliers equipped with a purification system for wastewater used during the production process.

Measured production impact

Use of specialised software to help us measure the environmental impact of our production process.

Recycle and water-saving capsules

Different capsule collections with an environmental aim, certain characteristics of which were then integrated into all of our collections: Japan Zero in 2010, stonewashed jeans that did not require a single drop of water or the Recycle collection in 2014, which integrated 20% recycled cotton.

Reduced air transport

In terms of logistics, over the last few years we have managed to virtually put an end to our use of air transport. Today we prioritise maritime transport.

Recycled plastic packaging

We have also put an end to use of non-recycled plastic packaging in our textiles department. Our models are now produced using recycled and recyclable plastic.

Overproduction eliminated

Following a reorganisation of our practices, we have today managed to eliminate overproduction. This is thanks to more regular supply runs to meet our clients’ requirements more precisely: jeans are ordered around twice per month and prêt-à-porter three times per season.
