- Continued decrease of the environmental impact
- Offer of collaborative presales
Montloup, a company specializing in eco-friendly fabric manufacturing, was founded on the principle of environmental responsibility. From fiber to fabric, the company is committed to minimizing its environmental impact and ensuring traceability for all inputs in its production process.
The majority of their yarns are made from eco-friendly or organic fibers, and they are certified as environmentally responsible. The company has implemented multiple eco-friendly practices, such as increasing the durability of its products, reducing energy consumption, improving waste management, and working to minimize the overall environmental impact of its value chain. Montloup has also taken on an educational mission, sharing environmental and ecological knowledge with its customers through the blog section of its website, where it presents its research and practices in this area.
However, Montloup faces challenges in pursuing its eco-friendly business model. The company's primary concern is to offer environmentally responsible and affordable products to its customers while dealing with the high cost of certified eco-friendly raw materials and components used in its production. While waiting for government policies that promote ecological transition and facilitate the green shift of businesses, the company continues to search for alternatives and new ways of operating while expanding its product offerings to meet the needs of its customers.
One initiative implemented by Montloup to eliminate inventory surplus for its customers is offering collaborative pre-sales. This type of offer allows customers to access made-to-order products in smaller quantities. Through these initiatives and by developing its ecological expertise in fiber selection, supplier partnerships, and choice of production processes, the company strives to find a balance between viability and environmental responsibility. Among the projects Montloup is working on are achieving 100% sourcing within the American territory (North and South) and replacing bamboo viscose in its production with a more eco-friendly fiber that offers similar characteristics.
