ZEROBARRACENTO zero waste DNA

Long description

We are an Italian emerging outwear brand with a strong 0 waste DNA.

• ZERO waste, gender and age as well as reduction of pollution and emissions.
• CENTO% quality of the made in Italy, inclusivity, use of materials, sustainability and transparency of production.

Our design mission at ZEROBARRACENTO has always been centered on sustainability and zero waste. We work to expand this attention into sustainable materials and eco-packaging techniques through careful selection of suppliers. Small brands have the opportunity to control every step of their supply chains, resulting in high levels of traceability.

Our unique pattern development process conserves fabric by using it entirely throughout the garment design and production stages. This innovative design technique allows for garments to be made without any wasted material at the design stage, which is usually around 15%.

Combining sustainable materials research with selvages as an aesthetic addition gives you a refined and intriguing design. There are no buttons, zippers, or hooks – just a few seams for easier disassembling. Designing mono-material products, when feasible, allow easier recycling at the end of their lives.

ZEROBARRACENTO’s challenge is to create design-driven and high quality items while adhering to zero-waste practices. To achieve this, the designer must keep in mind not only sustainability concerns but also aesthetics and wearability. Ultimately, excellence in all three areas must be maintained to not compromise the brand’s integrity or sustainability goals.
