We are Sustainable Clothing Manufacturers
At CFB we pride ourselves in being Sustainable Clothing Manufacturers, adopting ethical and sustainable practices throughout product development including, waste minimization and recycling, resource efficiency and use of local supply chain.
We have spent the last 10 years researching and developing eco-friendly fabrics and sustainable methods of production.
We have implemented on our factories several measures to protect our planet and lower CO2 emissions:
- 55% of the electricity used by our factories comes from a green source, Solar Energy, photovoltaic panels
- The water of the boilers on our factories is pre-heated with Solar Panels
- All industrial waste is recycled
- Our factories floor plants use special roofing materials with major thermal isolation
- We have applied UV Ray Protection Films on all our factories windows to reduce air conditioning usage
- We use controlled tabs for water saving
- All our factories use eco-friendly lighting (bulbs and tube lights)
- We use energy-efficient machines in our production lines
- We have a strong recycling program that separates materials such as paper, plastic, batteries and fabrics
- Whenever possible we reinvest part of our profits in modernizing our facilities and processes making them as green as possible

sustainable fashion = ethical fashion
It goes without saying that to be really sustainable, factories you work with must be ethical clothing manufacturers. Don’t forget, sustainable fashion = ethical fashion.
While a brand may have great morals and make brilliant ethical policies, it’s important to also look further down the supply chain—the manufacturers. The responsibility of choosing an ethical manufacturer falls on the clothing brand.
When you choose Create Fashion Brand as the manufacturers of your clothes you can rest assured that you are working with ethical and sustainable clothing manufacturers.
