Local textile collection Biesbosch

Because of the substantial water consumption, the chemical dyes and worldwide transport, the textile industry is a serious pollutant. Martens & Visser studied new production methods using locally sourced materials. Excess and waste materials from the local industry around National Park the Biesbosch, combined with natural resources, have formed the starting point for the yarns, dyes and new dying techniques. Raw Materials, collection Biesbosch is an industrially produced, locally sourced collection of fabrics.
