Sustainable & Local Material Sourcing
In line with our objective to ensure transparency throughout our supply chain and maintain sustainable resource allocation and utilization, the company is committed to sustainable material procurement and has engaged with global suppliers and buyers to make this initiative a universal commitment.
After conducting a traceability study across all our garment manufacturing facilities on the materials we regularly source to produce garments, the Company has decided to focus on increasing the % of sustainable and recycled/recyclable materials used in production by (1) encouraging buyers and global partners to demand and develop products that are environmentally sustainable and (2) advising and collaborating with global suppliers to produce more sustainable material over the long-run.
To ensure compliance, traceability and transparency in our material sourcing efforts, the Company only classifies materials sourced as ‘sustainable’ or 'recycled' if suppliers have the following certifications:
- Sustainable: PFOA/PFOS Free, Biodegradable, RDS, BCI, GOTS, OCS, OEKO-TEX, IOS MAT 0010, Bluesign, PFC Free, C0, GRS (Global Recycling Standard), RCS (Recycled Claim Standard)
- Recycled: GRS (Global Recycling Standard), RCS (Recycled Claim Standard)
More information about our progress can be found in our sustainability report – broken down by fabric and accessories.
Sustainable Product Development
Through subsidiaries such as PT. Ocean Asia Industry and Continent 8, PBRX has also begun developing sustainable products – using organic fibers and natural dyes for garment products and encouraging buyers around the world to partner with us in this initiative.
Kapok Organic Fibre
Kapok fibre is naturally versatile fibre for textiles, which may be spun into the thinnest yarn counts, and blended to create a wide range of fabrics and insulation materials. Products containing kapok fibres are naturally comfortable, lightweight, hypoallergenic, and soft to the touch. Kapok fibre is a non-food fruit crop which can be picked, like an apple, from the tree on which it grows - leaving the tree to grow and prosper. Kapok trees need no irrigation, no pesticides, and no fertilisers. They can grow on hills, in a biodiverse environment, and on land which is not suitable for agricultural purposes - resulting in 100% positive impact on the environment

Natural Dyes
We are also developing products using natural dyes derived from natural ingredients such as leaves, roots, bark, berries, nuts. The extraction has been done with water and is a 100% environmentally friendly practice as the waste can be used as fertilizer or biofuel.

Zero Waste Management Program
Recognizing our tremendous environmental footprint as an integrated garment manufacturing company, we manage our waste as per our commitment to be an environmentally responsible business
