Sustainability Definitions
Discover essential sustainability terms like biodegradable materials, sustainable fashion, and organic fibers — and see how Wonena turns eco-friendly style into meaningful stories that inspire conscious living.
Sustainable Fashion
“Sustainable fashion refers to clothing that is designed, manufactured, distributed, and used in ways that are environmentally friendly and socially responsible.”
— United Nations Alliance for Sustainable Fashion
This is the heart of Wonena — where style meets purpose.
Biodegradable Materials
“A biodegradable material is capable of being broken down naturally by microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass — without leaving harmful residues.”
— European Bioplastics Association
Think bamboo fiber, cork, and organic hemp — gentle on nature and on you.
Regenerated Cotton
“Regenerated cotton, also known as recycled or reclaimed cotton, is made by reprocessing pre- or post-consumer cotton waste into new fiber.”
— Textile Exchange
Less waste, same softness. It’s a win for your closet and the planet.
Organic Bamboo
“Organic bamboo is cultivated without pesticides or fertilizers and processed mechanically, not chemically, to preserve its natural sustainability.”
— Good On You
It’s breathable, silky-soft, and grown with respect for the Earth.
Natural Fibers
“Natural fibers are obtained from plants, animals, or minerals and are biodegradable. Examples include cotton, wool, hemp, flax (linen), and silk.”
— The Natural Fibre Organization
What’s better than clothes made from nature, designed to return to it?
Recycled Leather
“Recycled leather is made from scraps of natural leather that are ground, bonded, and finished to create a usable textile — minimizing waste and demand for virgin hides.”
— Sustainable Apparel Coalition
Same luxurious feel, just smarter sourcing.
Genderless Fashion
“Genderless fashion challenges the traditional binary and embraces designs that anyone can wear, regardless of gender identity.”
— The Fashion Studies Journal
Wear what speaks to you. Style has no label here.
Handcrafted & Artisanal
“Handcrafted products are made by skilled artisans, often using traditional techniques that support cultural heritage and offer traceability.”
— World Fair Trade Organization
Human hands, timeless stories, and pieces made with soul.
Cork Sole & Natural Cork
“Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without cutting the tree down, making it a renewable and biodegradable material ideal for shoes and accessories.”
— Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
Comfortable, renewable, and rooted in nature.
Recycled Fibers
“Recycled fibers are made from existing textiles or plastic waste and reduce the need for virgin materials and energy.”
— Ellen MacArthur Foundation
From bottle to blouse — the circular economy in action.
Slow Fashion
“Slow fashion is an approach to producing clothing that takes into consideration all aspects of the supply chain, with the goal of respecting people, the environment, and animals.”
— The Good Trade
Buy less, choose well, and make it last. That’s the Wonena way.
