Fashion & Textiles

The fashion industry is increasingly striving to be more sustainable. Brands are opting for more sustainable materials including man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCFs) and responsibly sourced natural rubber. In fact, MMCFs are the fastest growing fibre in global fibre production - but sadly 50% are sourced from non certified forests. This threatens all forests including valuable ancient and endangered areas, leaving them vulnerable to deforestation and illegal logging.

A world where forest and fashion can coexist

FSC certification is a vital tool that can help protect forests worldwide and our Fashion Forever Green Pact is a call for the fashion industry—brands, retailers and manufacturers alike—to take immediate action to ensure responsible sourcing on behalf of the world’s forests.

Masai

Danish fashion brand launches FSC-certified clothing

In 2019 Masai became the first ever Danish fashion brand to gain FSC certification.

It is one thing for Masai’s paper goods to be FSC certified, but the fact that the brand’s wood-based textiles are now also certified is such a significant achievement in the brand’s overall sustainability and CSR strategy because large parts of Masai’s collections are made from wood-based viscose fibres.

Their first FSC-certified collection launched in 2020, and they are aiming to FSC-certify all of their viscose by 2025.

Masai hold FSC chain of custody certification and source from FSC-certified suppliers.
