We're committed to making a positive impact on the environment without compromising on fashion. Our dedication to sustainability is woven into every thread of our brand, and we're excited to share our eco-friendly initiatives with you.

Organic Cotton: When you shop with us, you can feel good knowing that many of our products are crafted from organic cotton.

Plus, it's super soft and breathable, making it a comfortable choice for you and the planet.

Recycled Polyester: We're proud to offer a range of products made from recycled polyester. By giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or polluting our oceans, we're reducing our environmental footprint and helping to close the loop on waste. So you can look great while doing your part for the planet.

Earth-Friendly Choices: From our packaging to our manufacturing processes, we're constantly striving to make earth-friendly choices. We prioritize sustainable materials, minimize waste, and work with partners who share our commitment to sustainability. Because we believe that every small decision adds up to make a big difference.

Why Materials Matters

Choosing the right materials for making clothes is really important because it affects the environment and society. Here at Urban Pioneers, we focus on using sustainable materials to lessen these impacts.

When we pick materials, we think about how well they perform, how long they last, how they look, and how they feel. Our goal is to find fabrics and yarns that are sustainable and meet our quality standards. We give top priority to certified materials to ensure that everything we make meets our strict sustainability goals.

At the heart of URBAN PIONEERS' ethos lies a deep-seated commitment to minimizing environmental impact without compromising on style.

Unlike fast fashion brands that prioritize rapid production and consumption, Urban Pioneers takes a different approach, placing sustainability at the forefront of every decision.

THE ACTION WE TAKE

Collaboration with Tise:

Our partnership with Tise allows us to breathe new life into pre-loved clothing, reducing waste and fostering a circular economy. By offering a platform for selling and buying second-hand items, we extend the lifespan of garments and minimize their environmental impact.

Sample Sale Concept:

Our sample sale concept enables us to responsibly manage excess inventory while providing customers with access to high-quality products at discounted prices. Rather than allowing surplus goods to go to waste, we offer them to our customers through our sample sales, furthering our commitment to sustainability.

Auxiliary Shipments:

At Urban Pioneers, we are committed to sustainable shipping practices. As part of this commitment, we utilize auxiliary shipments, which are sent via boat rather than air transport. This choice significantly reduces carbon emissions and helps minimize our ecological footprint. By prioritizing sea transport, we take meaningful steps towards building a more environmentally friendly future.

Urban Pioneers' Basic Collection Initiative

In today's sustainability-driven landscape, Urban Pioneers is spearheading a transformation in the fashion industry through its Basic Collection initiative. Prioritizing longevity and classic design, we're redefining fashion consumption and production norms.

Embracing Slow Fashion

At Urban Pioneers, we champion slow fashion principles, valuing quality over quantity. Our Basic Collection offers timeless essentials built to endure, resisting the fleeting trends of fast fashion. Craftsmanship and durability take precedence, ensuring each piece remains relevant season after season.

Minimizing Environmental Impact

A core objective of our Basic Collection is to reduce our environmental footprint. By creating garments with enduring appeal, we diminish the need for frequent production cycles, conserving resources and minimizing waste. This approach contributes to a more sustainable future for our planet.

Our Commitment to Lenzing™️ EcoVero™️ Viscose

At Urban Pioneers, we are dedicated to integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business, from material sourcing to manufacturing processes. One significant step we've taken towards this goal is our adoption of Lenzing™️ EcoVero™️ viscose in many of our products.

Lenzing™️ EcoVero™️ viscose is a sustainably produced material known for its low environmental impact and high quality. Unlike conventional viscose production, which often involves harmful chemicals and contributes to deforestation, Lenzing™️ EcoVero™️ is manufactured using an eco-friendly production process. This process reduces emissions and water usage, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.

By incorporating Lenzing™️ EcoVero™️ viscose into our products, we are not only reducing our environmental footprint but also offering our customers a sustainable and ethically sourced option. We believe that sustainability should not compromise style or quality, which is why we are proud to use materials that meet both our environmental and performance standards.
