ZARA MAN EASY CARE TEXTURED SHIRT

Care for fiber & water: at least 25% recycled polyester.

We use the Join Life label on clothing that is produced using technology and raw materials that help us to reduce the environmental impact of our products.

We work with monitoring programmes to ensure compliance with safety, health and quality standards for our products.

The Green to Wear 2.0 standard aims to minimise the environmental impact of textile manufacturing. To that end, we have developed Inditex’s The List programme, which helps guarantee both that production processes are clean and that our garments are safe and healthy.

Recycled polyester is produced from recycled PET plastic, such as that found in plastic bottles.

Whenever you throw a plastic bottle into a recycling bin, it is taken to a waste separation and classification plant. These plants separate the different types of plastic and give it a better purpose. The PET plastic is cleaned, shredded and recycled into a new recycled polyester fibre.

As a result, we are able to give new life to plastic waste and reduce the consumption of virgin raw material through a process that consumes less water and less energy and generates less waste.

The recovered thread has characteristics similar to virgin polyester: it is strong, resistant and long-lasting and can always be recycled again.

We only use recycled polyester certified by organisations which monitor the process from the source to the final product. At present, we work with:

Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

Recycled Content Standard (RCS)

We work alongside our suppliers, workers, unions and international bodies to develop a supply chain that respects and promotes human rights, contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Additionally, thanks to an ongoing collaboration with our suppliers, we have developed a tracking programme that allows us to determine where and how our products are being made.
