OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Hast is much more than just a menswear label. We
are a committed brand offering desirable and long-lasting garments.
LESS BUT BETTER
Since our founding in 2012, we have been committed to countering the excesses of the modern fashion industry. We reject continuous sales and promotions that devalue products, as well as overproduction, mass destocking, offshoring and the use of polluting materials.
In 2020, we decided to take our commitment even further by partnering with UTOPIES®, a consultancy specialising in environmental impact assessment and strategy. Together, we carried out our own voluntary Bilan Carbone® to measure and reduce our carbon footprint. This initiative bears witness to our steadfast commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

WHY DID WE EMBARK ON THIS APPROACH?
There is no denying that textile production often generates a significant amount of fabric offcuts. Conscious of this reality, at Hast, we took the initiative to turn these offcuts into an opportunity. Right from the start, we set out to reuse the offcuts from our shirt production to craft upcycled boxer shorts.
This innovative approach not only allows us to reduce our environmental impact by avoiding fabric waste, but also to create a new, high-quality product. By giving these fabric scraps a second life, we contribute to making the most of resources and promoting a circular economy in the fashion industry. This initiative reflects our deep commitment to sustainability and our desire to rethink how clothes are made and consumed.

OUR COMMITMENTS AND OUR LIMITATIONS?
You
are already familiar with some of our commitments, such as the use
of natural fabrics, upcycling, and
compostable packaging. However, we aim to go even further by
gradually reducing the carbon footprint of our collections, while
maintaining our commitment to style, accessibility and quality.
