Eco Fashion World

You thought you were pretty eco-cool with your designer hemp shirt and organic cotton jeans, but did you every think about your zippers? In fact, all the little metallic bits and bobs that give the finishing touch to your beautifully cut trousers are often produced in terrible conditions with polluting materials. So, in their search for the most eco friendly materials to create their looks, companies like Loomstate , Mana Clothing and Levi’s have turned to a new player in the green fashion market: San Francisco-based trim supplier, TYT Trend is now leading the charge to help apparel designers and brands develop truly 100% earth-friendly products for their earth-conscious customers.

Their products include zipper tape made up of 100% recycled polymer fabrics that color match very effectively with standard tape. Metal hardware’s with non-electroplated finishes are another way to lighten the impact that shank buttons, snaps, rivets and zipper pulls have on the environment. Non-electroplated finishes are available in brass, aluminum and nickel for a range of categories spanning from denim to outerwear.

The “Green Gear” line includes a full set of zippers, including plastic, coil and metal, and is even capable of producing water-resistant zippers for performance garments. TYT is a world-class supplier of zippers, fasteners and metal hardware’s, with customer care offices in Hong Kong, and a wholly-owned manufacturing facility in Dongguan, China. By owning their own factory, TYT is able to control all parts of their production process, from material procurement to shipping. This control over the supply chain allows TYT to ensure that their customers are getting the absolute best, cleanest materials that the market can offer. This is just another step in ensuring that your apparel supply chain is as efficient and eco-friendly as possible.
