Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of our production process, from the materials we select to how we manufacture our garments. While Trendsplant itself is not GRS-certified, we work with GRS-certified suppliers and use GRS-certified recycled materials in a number of our products.
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an internationally recognized certification that ensures the recycled content and responsible production of materials. It guarantees that these materials contain at least 50% certified recycled fibers and that their processing follows strict environmental and social criteria—from chemical management to ethical labor practices.
By choosing GRS-certified materials and partners, we ensure greater traceability, transparency, and a reduced environmental footprint across the parts of our supply chain where these materials are used. This reflects our ongoing commitment to making more responsible products, season after season.
Acting as agents of change.
As members of the B Corp movement, we share knowledge and resources, develop transformative initiatives, and promote change in economic systems.
We believe in the power of businesses to drive a new, more responsible and sustainable economic model, and we advocate that no change is possible unless we change the way we produce and consume.
We take decisions that are both good for the planet as well for those that live here, putting these interests before our own.
Be human. Be planet. Be B.
The 1% for the Planet certification is awarded to companies that make an environmental commitment by donating 1% of their annual revenue. Our emphasis is on the "1% of their annual revenue" part, not on the profit part.
We fulfill this self-imposed tax in several ways: economic donations, product donations, and on-site work.
All donations are made with various purposes such as preserving and protecting wildlife habitats, cleaning our oceans, local impact and creating an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
Every action, no matter how small, contributes to improving our environment.
We primarily manufacture in Portugal and Spain, often just kilometers away from our headquarters, prioritizing proximity, transparency, and corporate responsibility toward both the facilities and our employees.
In textile production, it is estimated that the human factor represents approximately 35% of direct production costs (manufacturing), while the rest corresponds to raw materials (which also mostly come from Portugal) and logistics.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to ethical production, proud to contribute to improving working conditions.
Our Footprint
The majority of our collections are crafted in Portugal and Spain, where we have built long-term partnerships with specialized workshops. By adhering to EU labor regulations and producing locally, we maintain oversight through frequent site visits and a dedicated local supervisor.
This proximity not only guarantees our high quality standards but also minimizes the carbon footprint of our logistics. Currently, only a small selection of accessories, specifically our caps, is produced in China with audited partners.

You will have noticed the elephant featured in the logo.
This animal represents the values that are the basis of Trendsplant:
Humble, Strong and Resilient.
Trendsplant is not just about making good products. We take decisions that are both good for the planet as well for those that live here, putting these interests before our own.
At Trendsplant, transparency has been a core value guiding us through the years.
That’s why we use certified materials and follow processes that ensure precise traceability, always partnering with those who share our values.
As part of our commitment to transparency, we regularly publish our Report, an initiative we proudly share with you. It offers a summary of key moments, events, progress, and challenges we've encountered along the way.
Since our inception, we have aimed to generate a positive impact and ensure our garments remain in your wardrobe for a long time, creating products that minimize the impact on natural resources across the planet.
That's why we employ eco-friendly techniques to minimize water and energy usage, as well as reduce pollution. We also select eco-friendly materials and innovative upcycled fabrics, constantly researching and testing new options that meet our standards for durability and comfort.
By giving materials a second life, we not only reduce environmental impact but also ensure that every product contributes to a more sustainable future.
RePack was the first reusable packaging solution for e-commerce on a global scale.
Made from post-waste recycled polypropylene (RPP), these bags are designed to be durable, lightweight, and easy to use. They are intended to be reused by the customer, extending the life of the packaging beyond a single delivery.
While reusable packaging isn’t entirely carbon neutral, choosing long-lasting materials made from recycled waste helps reduce packaging impact compared to conventional single-use solutions.
Together, we’re making a difference.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of our production process, from the materials we select to how we manufacture our garments. One of our most significant achievements has been obtaining the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification.
The GRS, an internationally recognized certification, ensures that the materials used in our products come from responsible sources, with at least 50% recycled content. Additionally, it verifies that our manufacturing processes are both environmentally and socially responsible, covering everything from chemical use to ethical labor practices.
This certification not only guarantees our reduced environmental footprint but also demands complete traceability throughout our supply chain, ensuring transparency and our ongoing commitment.
The collaboration between Trendsplant and Recovo arises from the alignment of our values and objectives: promoting circularity, reducing textile waste, and minimizing environmental impact, all combined with ethical production and the highest possible transparency.
Using deadstock fabrics reduces 82% of the resources that we use compared to creating new materials from virgin materials.
Every material used in this collection has impact and traceability data for the Digital Passport. The environmental savings from reusing textiles instead of producing new ones are measured through Dcycle.
By buying fabrics from Recovo, we avoid emissions, reduce waste and pollution, conserve natural resources, and extend the lifespan of materials using technology.
At Trendsplant, we are committed to the responsible use of natural resources, minimizing our environmental impact at every stage of production. From design to manufacturing, our priority is to use sustainable materials that respect the planet.
We use organic cotton, recycled materials, and natural fibers such as linen and hemp, reducing water consumption and CO2 emissions. Additionally, we collaborate with innovative suppliers to develop new fibers and processes that enhance the quality of our garments, always focusing on durability and ethics. All our clothing is certified by organizations like B Corp, which validate our sustainable and responsible practices.
By using recycled materials, such as polyester and nylon, we prevent unnecessary waste, giving new life to discarded materials and contributing to the circular economy. At Trendsplant, dressing with style also means caring for the planet.
At Trendsplant, we are committed to sustainability and the conservation of our planet, which is why we collaborate with Wild Tomorrow (WT) as part of our involvement with 1% For The Planet.
This organization works in southern Africa, protecting and expanding endangered natural habitats. Their mission is to halt biodiversity loss, restore ecosystems, and save species such as elephants, rhinos, lions, and giraffes that are threatened by poaching and habitat destruction.
Through donations, WTF acquires scientific tools, like tracking collars and blood samples, to monitor and protect vulnerable species. In addition, their dedicated field research team works tirelessly on the conservation of areas rich in biodiversity. With this collaboration, Trendsplant ensures that every purchase you make contributes to a more sustainable future, helping to stop the destruction of our planet.
