At Asda, our approach to sustainability is based on the belief that protecting the environment and saving people money go hand in hand. We have a really clear aims – to reduce the environmental impact of our operations, the goods and services we sell, and the suppliers that make them. Packaging, it’s part and parcel of what we do. Without great packaging, many of our products wouldn’t make it to our stores, or your homes, in one piece. Some of our food wouldn’t be safe, others wouldn’t taste so good, and some things need to be packaged for extra protection as they are so delicate. We’re focused on reducing and improving it and, since 2007, we have reduced packaging weight by 27 percent. But, it isn’t just about less packaging, it’s about packaging that keeps products at their best for longer, both in our stores and your homes.

LVMH has solidified a partnership between several of its fashion maisons and weturn, a company that offers an innovative recycling chain dedicated to unsold textiles from major fashion houses. Founded in 2020, weturn is the first recycling chain dedicated to unsold textiles, rolls of fabric and offcuts from major fashion houses, which are all protected by intellectual property. The company then transforms them into new quality yarns and fabrics that are 100 percent traceable and European-made.
LVMH to date has not named which of its designer brands is recycling textiles. The issue with upcycling recognisable fabrics is that they may end up back in the marketplace when used by a different brand. Companies such as Valentino have seen a branded V-print fabric, uniquely developed for the house, used by designers who found leftover fabric in a re-sale shop on the outskirts of Paris. LVMH will be keen for its repurposed textiles to not be recognisable in the marketplace.
