As eco launches ramp up, UK sustainable intimates brand ONE Essentials has debuted a range of natural, biodegradable, non-toxic underwear.

The company said it features “fundamental basics centred around a closed loop system that is designed with the end in mind”.

It comes as more and more consumers are focused on eco-friendly products and both surveys and consumer behaviour show that such initiatives are increasingly being embraced by shoppers.

The range, which induces both men's and women's underwear and a unisex T-shirt and sweatshirt, supports a circular business model, “taking responsibility for the end of life of their products through their customer take back scheme”.

A particular feature include the use of Bluesign- or Oekotex-accredited dyes “ensuring there are no toxins involve within the production process”.

The range also comes with a tiered pricing system “offering affordability to consumers”, while 1% of every sale goes to textile clean-up through the OR foundation.

“ONE Essentials aims to re-invent how we create and consume clothing, starting with our most disposable item - underwear. The brand's values stem from the message of making everyday essentials for everyday radicals, with all products designed with the end in mind—manufacturing products for maximum utility, minimal waste and the least possible harm”, the company said.
