Renewable energy drives switcher production. A wind and solar power plant produce 100% of the energy required.
The surplus that is not needed for production is fed into the local grid.

All polyester yarns from the new Switcher collection are made from PET recycled polyester. Our own factory recycles over 70% of bottles which come from the local market (India). The entire Switcher polyester range is made from recycled polyester staple fibers. Our Indian partner and producer Sulochana processes 5.5 million PET bottles into recycled polyester staple fibers every day. All of our partner's innovative projects are supported by renewable sources and electricity consumption is 100% renewable.

No synthetic chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in the organic cotton. 40% of the entire Switcher cotton collection consists of GOTS-certified organic cotton. 

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS for short) is one of the best-known ecological product standards for the sustainable processing of clothing and textiles made from organic fibers. As an independent, valid seal, the standard offers good guidance for the purchase of sustainable products and the certification includes strict criteria along the entire value chain. This holistic approach provides a transparent basis for socially responsible and ecologically sound textile production and distribution. 

In upcycling, waste products or useless materials are converted into new products. In contrast to downcycling, this form of recycling results in material upgrading. The recycling or reuse of existing material reduces the use of raw materials.

Cotton recycling prevents unnecessary waste and can be a more sustainable alternative to disposal. Recycled cotton can come from used clothing or from textile waste or remnants, which are then spun into new yarns and fabrics.
