FOR EARTH FOR US × BRING™ | JEPLAN,INC.PARTNERSHIP
Be it human to human or human to nature, everything is connected in our world.
“Things that are good for the planet, are also good for us.”
Even the smallest action is a step forward, creating opportunities for deeper interconnectivity.
"Circulation"
We launched the "FOR EARTH FOR US x BRING” project in order to introduce sustainable concepts to a greater group of people.
BRING creates clothing that you truly want to wear, by collecting unneeded clothing. They then turn this into yarns and fabrics for new clothing. BRING is a direct-to-consumer brand dedicated to putting the notion of a circular economy into practice.
For our current project, we created original apparel designs with the help of three artists from around the world. For this initial launch,, we made t--shirts and reusable shopper bags. Going forward, For Earth For Us will continue to produce sustainable projects to communicate the importance of sustainability across generations..
BRING, making clothes from clothes
BRING does not reduce or stop using polyester to produce clothes but use sustainable materials to produce new products by recovering and recycling unneeded clothing, which is then re-fabricated into usable products. The recycled polyester material used in BRING wear, has the same quality as products newly fabricated from petroleum. BRING owns their own factory at Kitakyushu, which uses the world's most advanced chemical recycling technology for polyester, in forms such as PET resin, yarns, fabrics, and clothing.
Making clothes with a certain purpose
Each piece of their product is designed by imagining it being worn in various situations,, the special purpose, and the person who will wear it. They are aim to provide the product that will make you want it and use it in various fields.
