Sustainability

score : Coming soon

Girlfriend Collective is dedicated to sustainability, using recycled polyester (rPET) from plastic bottles and ECONYL, a fiber made from discarded fishing nets, in their products​. Their production process is transparent, and they use OEKO-TEX certified fabrics, ensuring the absence of harmful chemicals​.

They are also size-inclusive, offering a broad range of sizes (XXS to 6XL), which reduces the need for fast-fashion purchases​. Additionally, the brand has an impressive ReGirlfriend recycling program, allowing customers to send back worn items for proper recycling into new products​. However, the reliance on recycled synthetics means the garments still shed microplastics during washing.

Non-toxicity

score : Coming soon

Girlfriend Collective excels in using non-toxic materials, as their fabrics are certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100, meaning they are free from harmful substances. Their use of eco-friendly dyes and careful management of dye wastewater adds to their clean production processes. However, as the activewear is made from synthetic materials, microplastics are still a concern, despite their non-toxic status.

Social Responsibility

score : Coming soon

Girlfriend Collective demonstrates a strong commitment to social responsibility, with their main production factory in Vietnam being SA8000-certified, ensuring ethical labor practices such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to unionize​. The brand has also taken public stances on social justice issues, including donating to organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and other grassroots initiatives​. They also support mental health initiatives through their Soulcare Collective program.
