Design & Product development
Sustainable products
New Wave Group has a broad experience in design and product development , which is the first step towards sustainable products – whether a welldesigned promo wear or famous crystal art .
We believe in classic design and good quality products – a concept that will never be out-of-fashion . Quality is a good way to ensure long-lasting use and sustainable consumption . While fashion is subject to constant change – quality remains a constant value .
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS A good material is fundamental for quality assurance . New Wave Group aims to introduce more sustainable and eco-friendly materials within our range of products . We would like to increase the amount of products from sustainable sources and help our customers to add social and environmental perspectives to their purchasing .
Organic cotton is a good example of an eco-friendly material . It is grown without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic agricultural fertilizers , which makes organic cotton more sustainable for both humans and the environment .
Unfortunately , less than 1 % of the global cotton production is grown organically . This does not correspond to the increasing demand , which could jeopardize the supply of organic raw material . To support the development of organic production , New Wave Group has aligned with Textile Exchange . Textile Exchange is a non-profit organization that operates internationally to achieve a responsible expansion of organic cotton production . Our membership allows us to take part of valuable advice in our quest for more sustainable products . We hope this journey will be encouraged by our customers as well .
Cotton is just one example of material that could decrease its environmental impact . Another important material is glass , which historically could involve the use of several hazardous substances . Orrefors Kosta Boda has conducted active environmental work for a long time and has been world leading in its ambition to create crystal glass without lead and arsenic . This glass is sometimes referred to as “ eco-crystal ” - but in Kosta Glassworks it is simply the material we have chosen for all Kosta-production .
Textile Exchange is an international organization working for responsible expansion of the textile industry .
