Dutch clothing fashion retailer C&A has announced the commencement of circular fashion with the launch of its Cradle to Cradle (C2C) gold certified T-shirts. With this, C&A will become the first ever fashion chain worldwide to bring out C2C certified T-shirts in June 2017.
The certified T-shirts follow the cycle of use, reuse and rebirth of clothing. Launched in partnership with the C&A Foundation, they are made of 100 per cent organic cotton, produced using only chemicals designed for safe cycling as biological nutrients, and manufactured in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

It may be noted that C2C certified products are evaluated and optimized for human and environmental health, recyclability or composability, renewable energy use, carbon management, water stewardship and social fairness. Products are considered either biological or technical nutrients – designed to be reused, recycled into new products, or to safely degrade in your compost pile. Additionally, it supports both the health of the ecosystems and communities in which they are manufactured and the overall health of the planet.
