What our movement essentials are made from.

NOVEMBER 22, 2022
By Meg Wilcher

Here at Nu Form Movement, we pride ourselves on working with the best fabrics that we feel fit for making our mindfully manufactured movement essentials. In a nutshell, fabrics that are considered as sustainably manufactured should be both good for people and the planet. They should be non-toxic, made from eco-friendly resources, like sustainably grown fibre crops or recycled materials. They should also be created in an ethical and considered environment.

Sustainable fabrics are made from natural or recycled materials, aiming to reduce harm through the production process, fibre properties or overall environmental impact. These fabrics can also contribute to waste reduction, water conservation, lowered emissions, and soil regeneration.

No one fabric is 100% ‘sustainable’, however, each fabric works together alongside other considerations (like the working environment, transport distance and method, packaging etc) to create the lowest impact on the environment possible.

I’d like to inform you about each one in a little more detail below.
