Doing Our Bit

Skunkfunk strongly believes fashion and environmental and social concerns should go hand-in-hand. Our website is a perfect channel to start sharing our experience on this journey towards sustainability: not just explain our history but also to share our latest milestones, the stones on the road and the direction we are taking. From the design rooms to fabric sourcing, logistics and own operations, Skunkfunk is working hard in order to switch the negative impacts for positive ones in all three legs: people, planet and prosperity.








Skunkfunk environmentally preferred fibers


eco_fabric_1RECYCLED POLYESTER

Polyester comes from crude oil, a natural scarce resource with a low renewability ratio. Recycled polyester is processed in a less energy intensive way than creating virgin fibers and it’s a perfect option to give a second life to post-industrial remains or post-consumer plastic waste. The PET to be recycled is chopped, melted and pulled into a new textile fiber that may have the same quality as the virgin polyester it comes from.

eco_fabric_2ORGANIC COTTON

A natural fiber cultivated without any synthetic chemical input, such as pesticides or fertilizers, and no genetic modification. This cotton is grown taking care of both soil and biodiversity, turning out a perfect bio-ecological balance for the land and the people in the area.

eco_fabric_3LYOCELL

This fiber represents a milestone in the development of environmentally sustainable textiles. Lyocell is a regenerated cellulosic fiber that comes from eucalyptus wood pulp, being extracted under a sustainable closed-loop process economical in its use of energy. The result: a great quality of light and silky fibers, also originally biodegradable.
