Long Term Partnerships

In order to make sustainable clothing the norm we think its important to work with sustainable partners, who themselves have a sustainable vision, pursue their dreams and want to make a difference working ON the clothing industry.

Only when we come together can we make a greater and faster impact.

Only together can a greater and faster impact be made.

Together we are stronger.

Which is why Bamboo Belgium works together with sustainable partners who:

  • Feel, understand and appreciate the value of bamboo clothing
  • Want to tell the story behind bamboo clothing, promote and sell it
  • Are looking at long term collaborations that contributes to a greener, more liveable world.
  • Are prepared to respect and to pay the fair price

Which means:

  • A purchase price based on liveable wages and healthy margins for the producer and store owner.
  • Maintaining the advised retail price
  • No deep sales cuts on the current collection (maximum 10% reduction)
  • Paying on time, within 30 days, in conjunction with, keeping stocks as low as possible

Together we build pure relationships and a win win win situation for people, animals and the environment.

    Partnership with Altijd Mooi

    Meet Veronique from Altijd Mooi, Together with four women she started the Always Beautiful initiative. For women, by women.

    Through her professional activity, making hairpieces, the idea grew to give women affected by cancer the opportunity to feel better about themselves and feel more beautiful.

    A survey quickly proved a great need for their project.  ‘Above all we experienced that these women find it very unpleasant when they have to tell their story again.  They are looking for a central point of contact, where they are helped in every possible way, both physically and emotionally.

    That encouraged the quintet to pool their knowhow and power.  They want to offer each woman the help they need.  ‘Even women who are sick still dream, regardless of their recovery.  It is our greatest passion to make sure they don’t give up’.

    Today, Altijd Mooi offers five advice centres in Flanders and Brussels (two in Brussels, Braschaat, Leuven and Zele), however the ambition is to bring this concept to other places in Flanders, Belgium and even over the borders in the future.

    Co-creation with Bellawear

    The Bellawear story comes from manager and founder Kelly Eerdekens.  Who made her unfortunate situation due to an undiagnosable illness her life’s work.  Kelly would eventually be diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and as a result of her illness received a permanent stoma bag.

    Picking up the threads of her life again, she reviewed her activities and critically assessed her needs.  She discovered that the offerings on the market were not the right tools.

    After a long search for appropriate brands, fabrics, and models, she set up Bellawear in 2014, a brand that serves the most essential needs of stoma bag wearers.

    Bellawear continuously innovates and works on new products.  Kelly worked in partnership with Bamboo Belgium to develop stoma bags, boxers and knickers.  Kelly noticed that if her skin around her stoma bag was sensitive and fragile, it healed much faster when she wore a bamboo cover.

      ‘With Carré Care I want to offer valuable guidance for you and other fellow patients.  Because I have also as a woman had experience with which questions, needs and concerns you have during a chemo session, the choice of hair pieces, wearing prosthetics and customised lingerie  and maintaining your natural appearance’.

      Els works following three pillars:

      • Care & Comfort: you feel 100% comfortable and at ease with your wig, hat or hair piece, which fits you perfectly.
      • Care & Confidence: Go with the correct or prosthetic lingerie for that safe, self confident and womanly feel. 
      • Care & change:  allow your natural radiance to be restored or improved with micropigmentation, so that you can happily look in the mirror again.

      Naturally, the comfortable bamboo under and nightwear from Bamboo Belgium cannot be missed in her range.

          Partnership with XXX

          Fina started a whole collaboration with XX.  XX has a dog collar company, which are all made from recycled material.  XX was looking for a long time for another raw material, which would be suitable for her dog collars and leashes.  By chance she came across Fina and Fina gave her the remaining bamboo fabric which was left over from the production in Portugal. XX went to work with great results.  The collars are available in her webshop.

              BambooLogic

              BambooLogic is the first European player in bamboo that delivers un and half processed bamboo to European industry.   

              They are planting bamboo fields in Europa with their eye on the fast growing demand for bamboo and organic based alternatives for steel, PVC, hardwood, composite materials and cotton. 

              BambooLogic is trying to encourage businesses make the step to using renewable raw materials, that are better for agriculture, the climate and the economy.

               The company contributes to:

              • European climate goals and eight UN goals for sustainable development
              • They offer a rewarding and sustainable alternative for the European agriculture sector in transition
              • They have created jobs and facilities to help solve many different ecological problems such as removing Co2 from the air, regenerating degraded land, erosion prevention, the retention of water in the top layer of soil, the extraction of toxic substances from the soil such as nitrate, lead etc.

                           

              In partnership with Bamboo Belgium, Bamboo logic are working on establishing the first bamboo pulp factory in Europe.

              When they have succeeded in this venture, no more bamboo pulp needs to be shipped in from China.  Just think what impact this will have on the environment, but also the liveable wages and working standards, not only in clothing, but in all industries.

              BambooLogic

              BambooLogic is de eerste Europese bamboe speler die onbewerkte en half bewerkte bamboe aan de Europese industrie levert.

              Zij leggen bamboe velden aan in Europa, met het oog op de snel groeiende vraag naar bamboe en biobased alternatieven voor staal, PVC, hardhout, composietmaterialen en katoen.

              BambooLogic probeert bedrijven te laten overstappen op een hernieuwbare grondstof die de landbouw, het klimaat en de economie helpt. 

              Met hun onderneming dragen zij bij aan:

              • Europese klimaatdoelen en 8 VN-doelstellingen voor duurzame ontwikkeling
              • Bieden ze een lonend en duurzaam alternatief voor de Europese landbouwsector in transitie
              • Creëren ze banen en faciliteren ze verschillende ecosysteemproblemen zoals CO2 uit de lucht halen, aangetast land regenereren , het voorkomen van erosie, het vasthouden van water in de bovenste laag van de bodem, het onttrekken van giftige stoffen uit de bodem zoals nitraten, led etc.

              Samen met Bamboo Belgium zijn zij bezig om de eerste bamboe pulpfabriek te vestigen in Europa.

              Wanneer deze samenwerking slaagt hoeft er geen bamboe pulp meer uit China te komen! Moet je nagaan wat een impact dat zal hebben op het milieu, maar ook op de leefbare lonen en werkomstandigheden in niet alleen de kleding-, maar elke industrie!
