Because there is no planet B®

ECOALF was created by Javier Goyeneche in 2012 to realise innovation in recycled clothing.

The idea for a truly sustainable brand was born from a deep frustration with the excessive use of the world’s natural resources and the amount of waste produced by industrialised countries - specifically by the fashion industry.

But ECOALF is more than a conscious clothing brand; it is a mission to create the first generation of recycled products with the same attention to quality, design and technical properties as the best non-recycled products in the market.

In order to ensure 100% transparency and provide the highest levels of quality, the ECOALF team manages the full process from waste collection to recycling technologies, manufacture, design and retail. Fabrics are developed in partnership with specialist manufacturers around the world and ECOALF are currently operating 14 joint ventures globally to collect and process waste into fabric and components with the highest recycled content available in the market.

Current initiatives operate to manufacture discarded fishing nets, PET plastic bottles, used tyres, coffee, post industrial cottons and wool into high quality yarns and components for clothing, accessories and footwear.

The brand offers a conscious alternative with no compromise. Perhaps most importantly, it provides a practical demonstration that there is absolutely no need to continue depleting the Earth’s natural resources for the sake of production.

ECOALF continues to push for innovation and improved technologies in the collection and production of recycled materials.

Ocean plastic

80% of marine debris lies at the bottom of the ocean. Ecoalf Foundation was born in 2015 with the start of the Upcycling the Oceans project which now unites more than 3,500 fishers across over 60 ports in Spain, Greece, Italy and France. The aim is to clean the oceans of marine waste with the help of the fishing industry and to give a second life to plastic waste through recycling and closing the loop. We spent many years of R&D to develop the technology to transform the plastic collected from the bottom of the ocean into our high-quality Ocean Yarn. Only 5 to 10% of the collected waste is PET, but as part of our mission to protect our oceans and to fight marine litter, we are collecting and guaranteeing the proper management of 100% of the waste collected, sending it to its categorized recycling facilities. “Since 2015 we have collected over 1,000 tonnes of waste from the bottom of the ocean”

Recycled materials

We are proud of using the least amount of natural resources as possible (materials, energy & transport). Recycled nylon, recycled cotton, recycled tures, recycled polyester, and our very own ocean yarn. By using recycled PET we are reducing water consumption by 20% and energy consumption by 50%, CO2 emissions by 60%* (*Estimated data on recycled PET vs conventional polyester). Recycled polyester can be recycled again, which is why this material is highly valued in the circular economy. "Over 250 million plastic bottles recycled so far".
