We weave sustainability into every product
We believe that there are ways to consume without consuming ourselves, it is just a matter of doing it consciously. Thus, at Arpe sustainability is not optional, but part of our DNA. A 360 sustainability and consciousness that governs all our areas and processes.

Proud to manufacture in Barcelona.
We continue knitting and producing in our factory, just as our grandparents and great-grandparents did. Because, besides wanting to maintain the tradition and craftsmanship, it is also one of the keys to minimizing our impact. A close-by production, at km0, reduces CO₂ emissions more than a simple recycled material.

We care about the impact of our actions
Being sustainable should be the only way of doing things. All our products are eco-designed under the criteria of the circular economy and with 100% renewable energy (we have solar panels in the factory!). Always seeking the greatest optimization, usefulness and durability of our fabrics, measurements, and final products.

Giving plastic bottles a second life
Our products are made with polyester yarn from post-consumer rPET bottles. Yes, we prefer to use synthetic and recycled materials. As human beings, we are constantly producing and using new resources, creating an enormous amount of waste. Waste that is either incinerated or remains on Earth, polluting a lot in both cases.
Thus, we have decided not to be part of this and (re)use the existing waste, giving it a second life. How? Plastic bottles are melted down to create a super-soft microfiber fabric, also called polyester yarn, which is then woven into large pieces of fabric.

We measure our carbon footprint
We want to get better, day by day, both for ourselves and for the planet. That's why we have measured the carbon footprint of some of our products, such as the microfiber towel or the cushion, and of our entire company. This way, we can first reduce the percentage of emissions and then compensate for what we cannot reduce.
So, after years involved in sustainability, we are very proud of what we have achieved, and we know that we are on the right path to becoming a net-zero-emissions company.
