Sri Lanka manufactures first carbon-free bra |
Marks & Spencer has made ‘going green’ even easier as it has launched the high street’s first ever carbon neutral bra, manufactured at the M&S eco-model factory in Thurulie, Sri Lanka.
Part of the new Autograph Leaves lingerie collection, the retail chain has calculated the footprint of the entire range, which includes four styles of bra, three knickers and a set of suspenders.
‘As a result of this project we know raw material production, such as lace manufacture, is a major contributing factor to the bra’s footprint, so we’re now working with our suppliers to find better alternatives for the future,” Paschal Little, Head of Lingerie Technology at M&S said.
The factory’s local community is also benefiting from this initiative. M&S has purchased offsets through a carbon credit project run by Conservation Carbon Company.
