In 2024, we managed to reach 29%, thus aligning ourselves one year ahead of the Fashion Pact target. During the year, 7,500 tonnes of synthetic, artificial and natural, recycled and certified lower impact fibers were used in the production of our garments. These fibres include, for example, GRS cotton and Lenzing Ecovero viscose which, by following innovative production processes compared to traditional ones, reduce environmental impact.

Oniverse is constantly committed to the research and development of new items of clothing. The study and use of products with a lower environmental impact is an essential part of this process, with such items needing to account for at least 25% of the fabrics used by the Group by end 2025.

As proof of the importance of this objective, in 2023 we reached 23% and, in particular:

Raw materials

The raw materials mainly used by Oniverse are fabrics, yarns and lace, as well as different types of accessories (e.g. hooks, laces, straps, elastic bands, etc.). To date, the percentage of natural fibres used to manufacture the items stands at 41% for yarns, 39% for raw fabrics, and 32% for finished materials.

By nature, the packaging is a disposable material, making it one of the first elements to be taken into account when talking about environmental impact. On the other hand, packaging makes it possible to safeguard the quality of the items and optimising it in the eyes of our customers. The Group’s challenge is precisely this: to keep the protection and practicality offered by packaging unchanged and, at the same time, to reduce its quantity and use materials that have a simpler end-of-life management.

According to the objectives established by the Fashion Pact, by 2025 we are committed to eliminate single-use plastic in B2C and B2B packaging by 2030. Furthermore, by 2025 the packaging used in B2C and B2B will contain at least 50% recycled plastic, which will become 100% in 2030. The Group has made huge efforts to implement strategies to eliminate superfluous packaging, to replace synthetic materials with renewable/biodegradable ones and to use recycled materials.

The significant reduction in the use of shrink film in Oniverse’s internal processes led to the elimination of over 23,000 kg of plastic in 2024. The complete elimination of the material took place at the beginning of 2025. This is an important milestone given that the initial consumption of this material (2021) amounted to over 70,000 kg. This result is made possible by the production efficiencies in which Oniverse continues to invest.

Furthermore, thanks to other projects such as the replacement of plastic with materials with a lower impact (e.g. paper), the Group managed to avoid a total of over 48,000 kg of plastic during the year.

As part of the process for the design and development of the furnishing formats, the Group, for preference, opts for furnishing accessories that minimise the environmental impact. More specifically, during the design phase, Oniverse considers the entire life cycle of the various accessories - from manufacture to the useful life cycle and disposal - seeking to foster virtuous behaviour. Moreover, the Group pays increasing attention to looking for materials that can be sourced near its stores, thereby supporting the local community and also minimising the environmental impact connected with the transport of the components used.
