ZERO KM MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTION

E9’s production is almost 100% produced in an operating radius of 30km around the headquarters in Ascoli Piceno, Italy. This production cycle takes place within a few kms, eliminating the consumption of fuel and resulting greenhouse gas emissions derived by the freight of goods.

 

ORGANIC & RECYCLED FABRICS

Almost 90% of E9 clothes are made from organic and recycled fabrics, reducing the consumption of water, eliminating the use of harmful pesticides and reducing the waste of raw materials.

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems are used to fertilise the soil, eliminating the use of toxic pesticides and chemical fertilisers. Opting for organic clothing is an act of caring for not only the skin, but also for the environment and often for people working in the production chain. E9 expanded the range of fabrics in organic cotton - almost 85% - produced by Oeko-Tex certified companies that have joined the Green Peace Detox

SuperStretch

SuperStretch is a technical fabric made with organic cotton. It features polyester ligatures providing tear-resistance and a thermofix finishing granting high elasticity recovery.

Hemp

Hemp is naturally organic since it fertilises the soil and renews it with its deep roots, as well as being pest resistant and does not need pesticides or herbicides. Hemp is a very robust plant, whose textile use is becoming more common.

Blend Wool

Wool gives the garment great warmth, softness and thermal function, ensuring your body’s maximum comfort when the temperature drops. Most of the wools in the collection are recycled.

Lyocell

Lyocell is a bio-based fabric fiber derived from wood pulp and is 100% biodegradable and compostable. The fiber is the result of a closed-loop production process that ensures a low environmental impact, optimising the use of water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%. Wood and pulp used in the process comes from natural forests and sustainably managed plantations. Extremely comfortable and soft on the skin, Lyocell is revolutionising the textile industry with its lightweight, stretchy and breathable nature.
