ALEC Group – Leading Circularity

Circular Design

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

Certified and Transparent

ALEC Group holds internationally recognized certifications that reinforce their commitment to responsible production:

• GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) – Covers the entire textile supply chain with strict ecological and social criteria
• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 – Ensures that textiles are tested for harmful substances and safe for human health
• Better Cotton Initiative (BCI)* – Supports more responsible cotton farming
• Global Recycled Standard (GRS) – Verifies recycled content and responsible social, environmental, and chemical practices
• Amfori BSCI – Promotes better working conditions in global supply chains through audits and continuous improvement
• Social & Labor Convergence (SLCP) – Enables transparent social and labor data sharing to improve conditions across the industry

*While BCI is not a certification but an initiative, it promotes more responsible cotton farming practices, focusing on reduced water use, improved soil health, and better working conditions for farmers.
