Eau de pommes : zéro déchet ou anti-gaspi ?

Recycler ses peaux et trognons de pommes pour en faire une eau aromatisée. Je ne sais pas si c’est anti-gaspi (les épluchures de pommes seraient allées dans notre lombri-compost) ou zéro déchet (après cuisson il faut quand même jeter ses épluchures de pommes.) mais c’est adopté à la maison !

Beaucoup moins sucrée qu’un jus de pommes, l’eau de pommes est aussi une chouette manière de rester hydraté tout en faisant des économies.
Eau de pommes : les variantes
Chaque semaine, j’essaie d’aromatiser cette eau de pommes différemment.

Avec un tout petit peu de cannelle. Attention à ne pas laisser le bâton infuser toute la nuit sinon le goût de cannelle sera vraiment très fort.
Avec de la vanille. J’ajoute 1/2 gousse de vanille au moment de la cuisine. Et cette fois, je laisse la gousse avec les épluchures de pommes toute la nuit
Avec du citron vert. Jus et zestes. Je l’ajouter à la dernière minute, juste avant de servie et ça fait une sorte de cocktail très frais.

Organic Cotton

Soft, comfy and chemicals free

Since we started Nude Label, we have been searching for high quality organic cotton. We wanted to be sustainable, but it didn’t have any sense to make undies with low-quality organic cotton that was not going to last more than one season. That’s why we started to use great quality regular cotton. We think long-lasting garments that you can wear to death are the most sustainable ones. A couple of years ago we finally found our organic cotton supplier in Portugal. After making some samples and trying them on we fell in love.

They make soft, stunning, organic cotton certified with GOTS and OEKO-TEX 100 Standard. They are also members of the Better Cotton initiative.

Our organic cotton is grown with no pesticides, herbicides or harmful chemicals. Organic production maintains soil fertility, reduces the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and builds biologically diverse agriculture.

GOTS certifies all chemical inputs such as dyes used that must meet certain environmental and toxicological criteria. Also, a functional wastewater treatment plant is mandatory for any wet-processing unit involved and processors must comply with minimum social criteria. This ensures that the workers growing the cotton are receiving fair wages and good working conditions.

Recycled Polyamid

Closing the loop

For our recently added swimwear line, we are using a sustainable fabric made of ECONYL® regenerated Nylon.
High performance, compact, non-see-through, and super elastic, it ensures a perfect fit under any circumstances and follows the body in every move. Pilling and abrasion resistant, is designed to remain unaltered over time.

Curious about the process?

1 The ECONYL® Regenerating systems start with rescuing waste, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic from landfills and oceans all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all the nylon possible.

2 Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled and right back to its original purity.

3 ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into textile yarn.

4 82% of the ECONYL® recycled nylon is used to produce our fabric and it’s back to the sea again.

The 3 Golden Care Rules For long-lasting basics

https://thenudelabel.com/how-to-wash-a-bra/

Wash by hand if you can. Washing by hand helps your bra last much longer as the straps and band are not stretched in the same way as they would be in a machine.
Use alcohol-free detergents. Alcohol-free detergents allow pieces to retain their color and softness for a longer time.
Lay flat or hang dry. Using a dryer causes elastics to dry up and break, the colors also tend to fade, getting dull much faster.
