Our Materials

Designs designed
to last!

The life cycle

The life cycle of any design involves transformation, interaction and exchange; flows of matter, energy and information that move to and from the system they form, but also affect ecosystems, their components and services; individuals, their well-being and development, and the communities and societies with which they interact in various times and spaces.

Material mix is one of the main drivers of a fashion brand's environmental footprint and has major implications for climate change, waste and biodiversity, and can cause up to two-thirds of the total impacts generated by a garment in terms of water, energy and land use, as well as its emissions and waste to air.

Thinking through the material mix and optimizing it to meet the needs and performance of each product can significantly reduce the environmental footprint of a collection.

At FASTLOVE we believe that our mission to address the great social, economic and environmental challenges facing our societies begins with taking care of the materials we work with, and with which all the people in our team work, and that is why we have developed a Textile Strategy that allows us to face the climate challenges that fashion must respond to .

To do this, we work toavoid the generation of waste, decarbonise
textile supply and eliminate the
following impacts:

CHEMICAL

Toxicity on humans and natural ecosystems of those substances used during the production process. Predominant throughout the production chain.

GLOBAL WARMING

Emissions of greenhouse gases. Prevalent in the manufacturing phases.

WATER FOOTPRINT

Environmental damage to water availability for human health, ecosystem quality, and resources. Prevalent in the raw materials phase.

RESOURCE LOSS

Use of natural resources at a faster rate than their regeneration, prevalent in the raw materials phase and during their manufacture.

EUTROPHYZATION

Greenhouse gas emissions. Prevalent in the manufacturing phases.



Sports Bra, Basic Rib, Square Neck Bra, Basic Legging, Biker Short and Culotte short:

They are composed of 96% Q-Nova, a recycled polyamide made in Italy by Fulgar from the mechanical processing of pre-consumer waste polyamide 6,6 (PA66), and 4% elastane (from South Korea), to give extra elasticity and comfort. All this, made using Seamless technology to achieve a unique garment that adapts to your body without generating waste.


Racerfront and
legginG fstlv

They are composed of 56% Q-Nova, a recycled polyamide made in Italy by Fulgar from the mechanical processing of pre-consumer waste polyamide 6.6 (PA66), 40% Polyester and 4% elastane (from South Korea), to give extra elasticity and comfort. All this, made using Seamless technology to achieve a unique garment that adapts to your body without generating waste.


Shopper Bags

Composed of 50% pre-consumer recycled cotton and 50% post-consumer recycled polyester, resulting in a resistant canvas fabric that is then screen-printed with low environmental impact water-based inks. The bag is made in the social enterprise A PUNTADAS; a workshop for social and labour insertion whose mission is to empower people at risk of social exclusion by proposing a responsible business model committed to change.
