Materials and Quality

Coming from superior expertise and promising highest performing quality, our choice of materials is more than important, they are decisive.

There are many aspects to take into consideration when choosing materials. Every product is crafted to exceed your expectations with all the right functionalities for your activity –with incomparable durability, which is one of the most important aspects in the circular economy - to make sure things last. Because it’s not in the least bit sustainable if your tights wear out after one year or your yoga mat never gets used because it doesn’t have a good grip.

The materials we choose have an environmental impact in many ways, when being produced, but also in the long run, when being used and eventually when it’s time to let go of them.

Now to the tricky part where there many times is a conflict between durability and more environmentally friendly materials, especially looking at the full lifecycle where the afterlife of the product also needs to be taken into consideration. One example being recycled fibers, which is great as we lessen the dependency on virgin resources, however, many times the recycled material is less durable and have a more fluctuating quality, which can give a shorter lifespan of the product. Another example is elastane, which is used to give the perfect fit and comfort over time, but when blending materials, it is much harder to recycle once they have come to the end of life with current technology.

Awareness and courage are key to succeed in this quite complex area. We make considered and informed decision based on the whole lifecycle of a product, for every piece we create, continuously challenging and learning. Trust that we keep seeking innovative materials and solutions to take us further on the route, without compromising the quality and longevity of the product. Read more about different aspects and way of creating and evaluating products in our Design & Product Guidline here.

The result of every single product is truly teamwork. For our wear collection we work with a few selected fabric producers mainly in Europe, many of them since decades, which we collaborate closely with to drive innovation and share knowledge. We focus on our bestselling signature fabrics which have passed rigorous quality tests and comes with a durability guarantee. This has allowed us and the supplier to work them till perfection, and we keep on innovating and perfecting to deliver the very best. We take the fact that leading gym chains in the Nordics again and again are choosing Casall clothing for their personnel, wearing it every day as a receipt for that we are delivering on our promise of longevity. In short, we are proud to be the choice of professionals.

Our aim is to use recycled or more sustainably sourced materials1  in our full range by 2030, without compromising the quality and longevity of the product.  We are therefore committed to make 100% of our wear range with at least 50% recycled or more sustainably sourced materials latest 2025 and aim at 50% for our tools range with a target of 25% recycled or more sustainably sourced materials by 2025.

We also aim for better traceability by understanding the whole value chain, from raw material to finished products, to secure environmental aspects in the production of our products. Below, some of the steps that has been taken so far.    

  • We require all recycled and organic materials to have a chain of custody by credible third party, such as Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Recycled Content Standard (RCS), ECONYL® or Organic Content Standard (OCS).  
  • We have committed to 100% third party certified or trademarked wood-based materials latest 2025. Our wear selection is already living up to this as we only work with TENCEL™ fibers for manmade cellulosics.

Water and Chemicals

We talk a lot about materials, but sometimes forget to talk about the magic that makes them come to life as actual products – namely all the processes, for example dyeing. This is perhaps where it becomes quite complex, but let’s keep it to the topics of chemicals and water.

When it comes to chemicals below is our policy and some examples of the outcome.

  • We work to phase out harmful substances and use the precautionary principle, where we want to go beyond what’s required from a legislative perspective. 
  • In addition to our code of conduct we therefore have a chemical policy which includes a restricted substance list (RSL) and substitution guidance that all our suppliers, and also their suppliers have committed to.
  • To secure compliance we work closely with our suppliers on product level to control the substances used in the product and the processes. 
  • We keep a constant dialogue to keep moving our positions forward, together with our suppliers and experts in the field. 
  • Our approach is minimalism – trying not adding anything that isn’t needed. 
  • Examples of the outcome being that we started phasing out PFAS 2015 and that all our tools are BPA free as well as free from hazardous phthalates. 
  • We have also actively chosen to not use any antimicrobial treatments in our wear selection due to the potential environmental damage it may cause. This is otherwise very common in the sports industry to keep bad odour away, especially in polyester garments. We have instead chosen to mainly work with polyamide, which isn’t prone to smell bad in the same way.  

For the water part, let’s just say processes can be more or less intensive based on the type of material and the methods used, for example when it comes to dyeing. For SS22 we ran a project together with one of our suppliers in Turkey that made us create pieces in 100% organic cotton, dyed with natural extracts from the olive leaf and lavender which saved 54%2 water and 47%3 energy. Using a mono, meaning one, material, like we did in this case also makes the product easier to recycle.

Now you might think – and what about energy? It has its own section one could say. Read more about our work related to greenhouse gas emissions here.

Waste

One of the major sources of waste in the textile industry is the excess fabric and clothing produced during the manufacturing process. Much of this excess is not recycled and ends up in landfills. We need to become more resource efficient and treat all materials as an asset, not as waste. Hence why we have committed to reduce overproduction with 50% latest 2025.

An attempt to further address this from our side was to create our reclaimed tights, a set of limited edition tights made with the excess of some of our most loved fabrics from our previous collections. Upcycling already existing materials to create new products as a part of our offer lessen the dependency on new inputs. Trust that we will continue to design out waste to reduce the excess we are currently facing.

Packaging

Our mantra for packaging is less is more, where we also try to avoid plastic and use more sustainable options, such as recycled or unbleached paper. Where we have been able to replace plastics, we have, and where we still need it, we only allow recycled plastic. An overhaul was made of our entire tools packaging range 2019, saving Earth from another few tonnes of plastic every year since.

  1. We classify recycled, organic, and certain bio-based materials such as TENCEL™ Lyocell and cork as more sustainable.
  2. The calculation is based on a life cycle analysis carried out by a third party where natural dye is compared with a more conventional coloring method, in this case with reactive pigments. The savings are calculated based on the processes for producing the dyes and coloring the product.
