Lars Bech and Christina Larsen, founders of Neutral, have been dedicated to develop a platform for sustainable clothing, manufactured with true respect for people and planet. In 2008, Neutral® officially became that platform.
Nowadays, all production of Neutral products takes place in India, under good working conditions. Neutral’s factories are SA8000 certified. This guarantees good health and safety for the employees and excludes child labour, discrimination and disciplinary practices.
Neutral chooses sustainable materials. The T‑shirts, sweaters, polos and face masks are made of 100% Fairtrade and GOTS-certified organic cotton. Thanks to certificates Neutral guarantees that they meet all sustainable and ethical standards.
The GOTS certificate guarantees that the cotton is organic and dyed in an environmentally friendly way. During the production of the cotton only biological pesticides are used, which is much better for the health of the farmers. Thanks to the Fairtrade label, Neutral can also guarantee that the farmers received a fair price for their cotton.
In addition, to protect biodiversity, people and the planet, they have a collection called “Tiger Cotton®” that works to convert conventional cotton cultivation to organic. High-quality, label-free basics made from 100% in-conversion organic cotton and certified by EU Ecolabel, SA8000, GOTS In Conversion and Oeko-Tex.
For its sportswear, the brand uses 100% recycled polyester. The polyester is made from post-consumer PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfills in India.
In addition, instead of using conventional energy Neutral® products are manufactured using renewable energy. That way, Neutral® Responsibility helps reduce CO2 and is beneficial for both local environment and global climate.
Neutral is a brand committed to improving its environmental impact and circularity every day. In particular, the vast majority of its garments are made using only 100% organic cotton.
Even the buttons on the polo shirts are made of the same organic cotton. Because the garments are made entirely of one type of fiber, they are also easy to recycle!
Also, thanks to the recycling of the polyester, Neutral is reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy.
They even clean and reuse waste water. And they always work to reduce fabric loss: their hang tags are made from recycled waste cotton. In that way, cotton waste from their own production gains new life.
Neutral manufactures its garments in India, from the sourcing of the cotton to the confection of the garments, everything is done in India. The garments are then transported to Neutral’s headquarters in Copenhagen via maritime transport.
Although the production chain is not entirely short, Neutral works to reduce its impact and ensure good working conditions throughout the manufacturing process.
Neutral is a brand committed to sustainability and respect for animals. For this reason, it does not use animal-derived materials in its garments. Most of its products are made from organic cotton, cotton in conversion and recycled polyester.
Neutral offers basic garments in a wide variety of colours. Their timeless and versatile designs ensure that their garments never go out of style. With a focus on simplicity and quality, Neutrale provides durable options to fit the needs of any organisation.
The brand is very transparent about the entire supply chain. On the website you can find all the information about the certificates with the correct license numbers. However, the names of the suppliers are not mentioned and can only be requested with the brand itself or the certifying authorities.
