ALEC Group – Leading Circularity
At BELLAURA, we seek out partners who go beyond conventional practices. ALEC Group exemplifies this commitment through its Beyond Circular initiative – an ambitious approach to textile production that reduces waste, increases efficiency, and upholds strong ethical standards.
With a focus on closed-loop production, ALEC Group has developed pioneering circular economy models, ensuring that textiles are designed, produced, and repurposed with responsibility in mind. Their initiatives include
- Recycling excess raw materials into new textile fibers
- Repurposing production waste to reduce environmental impact
- Using renewable energy, including extensive solar panel installations
- Reducing single-use plastics with biodegradable and recyclable alternatives
These practices align with BELLAURA’s commitment to crafting pieces with purpose, longevity, and care.
A Holistic Approach
Responsibility at ALEC Group extends beyond materials. It is integrated into every step of the process, from resource management to working conditions. Their approach includes
- Water conservation – Rainwater harvesting, in-house filtration, and wastewater treatment systems
- Energy efficiency – Use of LED lighting, electric boilers, and low-energy equipment
- Fair labor & well-being– Fair wages, healthcare, wellness programs, and flexible work conditions
