NATURAL VEGETABLE
AND MINERAL DYE
NATURAL VEGETABLE AND MINERAL DYE
Natural dyes are derived from plants, invertebrates, or minerals. With our pursuit for more sustainable practices within our supply chain we have shifted to more
eco-conscious garment dyeing tools; mainly encouraging the switch from synthetic dye to natural dye.Our mineral and natural dyes are all Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ZDHC certified.

MONOMATERIAL
MONOMATERIAL
Designing products made entirely from a single type of material, also known as monomaterial products, can significantly enhance a product’s recyclability and biodegradability at the end of its lifecycle.In this direction, Hollit International develops high-performance outerwear jackets and bags made entirely from a high-performing material: Nylon 6 (N6). Nylon 6 is a virgin-petroleum free durable material created by utilising discarded post-industrial waste i.e. fishing nets through chemical recycling.
The concept is completed by using responsible wet & dry processes at our state-of-the-art sustainable eco-laundry for dyeing and washing garments.

KAPOK FIBRE
KAPOK FIBRE
Kapok is a natural, cellulosic fiber. The fibre grows on trees not requiring any additional water other than rain, along with no pesticides or fertilizers. Its origins come from the seed hairs of the Kapok tree Celiba Pentandira.Thanks to its hollow structure, kapok is naturally made for performance. When spun into yarns, its fibres help fabrics to channel excessive moisture out and regulate body temperature effectively, improving comfort in every weather condition.
Kapok is a great sustainable alternative to down for padding purposes.
Within our product developments, we have created a monomaterial piece made from kapok for its fabric, lining and padding.

PRODUCT CLONING
SERVICES
PRODUCT CLONING SERVICES
Our product cloning service offers the direct cloning of a product, but with a entirely sustainable approach.We take a product of yours and offer you a completely sustainable alternative in return. This way, we demonstrate quantifiable and measurable results on how to improve your current products in line with your targets on sustainability.
This approach proves that the same product could be made the same, however with an entirely sustainable twist from head to toe, from its shell fabric, to its lining – padding – trims - dye and more.

UPCYCLING SERVICES
UPCYCLING SERVICES
Our newly established upcycling service provides our clients with the resources to upcycle garments coming into production before they are brought into pattern cutting. It is a revolutionary design strategy, one of the first, that provides a unique and scalable approach to reducing waste.The program offers an advanced approach to create upcycled accessories for larger production quantities. Commonly, cutting waste is collected after the cutting process, then segregated and redesigned into small batch collections for upcycled products.
In our case, we have created a new process, by inserting the pattern of the accessories into the mini-marker. This zero-waste approach allows waste material to get recaptured without incorporating an extra step for reverse logistics.
We run this process simultaneously with product design. First, we calculate waste material from our pattern pieces then we estimate how much we can optimize to place additional accessory items. This way we:
- Optimize our material for higher volumes of more cost-effective products
- Reduce our client’s cutting waste
- Provide waste optimization data to measure potential upcyclability of the product
Planning circularity from the start, allows us to better forecast volumes, making it a more scalable and streamlined process for ourselves and our customers.

DESIGN FOR
DISASSEMBLY
DESIGN FOR DISASSEMBLY
Design for disassembly utilizes strategic material & construction choices, in order to enable efficient disassembly for reuse and re-model into a new product.When starting this type of design process, the end-of-life of a particular product, component or material is already being taken into consideration. What part will be the first to break due to ageing and usage? And how can we make it possible to replace this part? What will happen to the old used part? Can it biodegrade or be incinerated? Is there a possibility to repair or recycle this piece?
We offer you the service to add a disassembly option to you collections, choosing a more circular approach on design for its end-of-life cycle.

ALGAE DYE
ALGAE DYE
We offer a range of algae-powered dyes with high color fastness that are applicable to all kinds of fabric. This dye is born out of the partnership with sustainable algae growers who use vertical farming methods (closed-loop) to grow algae using only solar energy and salty or desalinated water in the middle of the desert, where land is harder to populate.
This innovation has the potential to positively impact the circular fashion industry as it promotes efficiency in water and energy usage, prevents global water pollution, is carbon-negative, and has 100% zero waste. Alongside these environmental benefits, our algae-based dye is cruelty-free, vegan, free from hazardous chemicals and offers other benefits such as leveraging the botanical power of algae for our skin.

MONOMATERIAL
BIO CYCLE
MONOMATERIAL BIO CYCLE
Our Monomaterial: Natural-based fiber was designed to completely biodegrade and close the loop responsibly at the end of its life cycle. Crafted entirely from organic materials, our natural-based Monomaterial products are created with the combination of an organic cotton down-proof fabric and brand new Flower Down filling product, making the final garment light, warm, and natural.Flower Down combines the incredible properties of kapok fiber and recycled down, allowing the products to reach the highest technical performances with minimal environmental impact. Blending these two natural fibers creates a fully natural, recyclable, and biodegradable filling. This concept is then completed with the use of natural trims and sustainable dyes.

MONOMATERIAL
TECH CYCLE
MONOMATERIAL TECH CYCLE
With recycled nylon from ocean waste and algae-powered dye, we created a range of swim shorts, jackets, and pants that can be recycled multiple times to prolong their lifespan by design. This concept is versatile and suitable for various style adaptations that best suit your brand.The use of algae-powered dye completes the whole concept. Grown with sustainable methods, algae dyes come in stunning shades that are free of allergens and pesticides.
Each clothing piece is a testament to sustainability and innovation. They offer the same durability, comfort, and style as traditional fabrics, proving that responsible choices can be both fashionable and functional.
