C&A, one of Europe’s leading fashion retailers, has recently launched in its stores in 18 European markets a range of recyclable T-shirts. These T-shirts are made of 100 per cent organic cotton, with safe materials and chemicals and produced in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

The styles were developed in close partnership with Fashion for Good.
