Our materials combine natural and chemical fibres, which we are increasingly sourcing to industry-recognized standards for organic and recycled fibres, as well as standards that take into account responsible animal husbandry and soil management. In addition, we use more environmentally friendly regenerated cellulose fibers from brand manufacturers. In this way, we create high-quality products that meet our standards. You can find out more about our product certifications and partnerships here.
Marc O'Polo uses certified wool, mohair and alpaca fibres whose supply chains are verified by independent third parties. The cashmere fibres we use are verified according to The Good Cashmere Standard® by AbTF and are produced with respect for animal welfare, better working conditions for goat farmers and farm workers, and protection of the environment.
Marc O'Polo only uses certified down and feathers or those that come from certified recycled sources. The supply chains are checked by independent third parties. A certified Marc O'Polo down product is labelled with a corresponding seal on the care label.
Cotton from certified organic farming is grown in crop rotation without genetically modified seeds, synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which protects the health of agricultural workers, soil quality and the environment.
Marc O'Polo uses regenerated cellulose fibers (viscose, lyocell, modal) from fiber manufacturers that achieve at least 80 percent of the possible maximum score (the "Green Shirt" status) in the Canopy Hot Button Ranking. An important evaluation criterion for Canopy is that the fiber manufacturers procure the wood from responsible forestry.
Marc O'Polo uses recycled polyester fibers, which are mainly obtained from PET bottles. Post-consumer material (e.g. fishing nets, industrial waste) is used as a raw material for recycled polyamide fibers.
Cupro is a versatile regenerated cellulose fiber whose production is now very transparent as there is only one manufacturer in Japan. In closed loop systems, the chemicals used to produce the fiber are extracted and completely reused.
