Whales
On site homepage there is a video showing fin whales, sperm whales, the Tethys boat and the researchers. As a matter of fact we dedicated part of our collection to the Cetacean Sanctuary research project. Apart from being Tethys technical supplier, through a financial contribution we are supporting the researches and the projects on cetaceans preservation that Tethys Institute is carrying out in the Ligurian Sea in Pelagos Sanctuary. In this way, whoever buys an item belonging to this collection, can help the safeguard of the cetaceans in the Mediterranean supporting Tethys Institute activities.
Hangers
In July 2011 BREACH signed a contract with MAINETTI to produce hangers made of a new eco-friendly material. The aim was keeping the involvement in the ecosystem going: this material is the liquid wood. It is an innovative thermoplastic material derived from a lignin mixture and natural fibres such as linen, hemp and other natural additives as, for example, beeswax.
Once liquid wood is moulded, it can look like traditional plastic, but it's not toxic, it's eco-friendly and 100% biodegradable. It is totally recyclable and you can dispose of it like wood.
Bottles Recycling
BREACH has produced a warm and innovative down jacket made of 100% polyester fabric. This fabric is created recycling plastic bottles. It is a process that reduces energy waste and carbon emissions. Impermeability and weightlessness are the main features of the fabric.
Besides eco-green fabric is free of harmful substances according to the tests of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 system. This is a control and certification system that is valid all over the world. Thanks to accurate analysis, it ensures that the raw materials and the fabric manufacture are in compliance with its standards and finally it issues a certificate.
This is of help to the ecosystem and it perfectly matches BREACH brand identity.
From 2010 BREACH is using fake furs too.
