Materials, production and resource use

At Cero & Etage, we work on specific initiatives concerning materials, production, packaging and energy consumption — both in the Cero, Etage and Lundgaard collections and in our business operations. This includes the development of our collections and initiatives at our head office in Stilling.

Here you can find examples of our initiatives and the goals we have set for the coming years. The information is based on internal measurements and data from our suppliers.

Materials

We use materials such as organic cotton and recycled fibres in selected parts of our collections.

We have also worked on developing products using recycled materials, including products made from 100% recycled polyester, with both the outer fabric and the filling made from recycled plastic.

Production

For selected trouser styles, we use E-flow washing technology — a method that reduces water consumption compared with traditional washing processes. Under the production conditions concerned, this method reduces water consumption per treatment from approximately 60 litres to 0.75 litres.

Packaging

Some of the boxes we receive from our manufacturers are reused in our own logistics operations. We also use cardboard boxes made from recycled cardboard.

We are subject to applicable EU rules on packaging and waste and work with the associated requirements for handling, reporting and recycling packaging.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we joined a collective packaging scheme to meet new EU requirements for recycling, reporting and handling packaging.

Energy

Solar panels form part of the energy supply at our head office in Stilling.

The panels generate electricity for the building’s operations and relate to energy consumption at this location.

At the time of installation, the solar panels covered approximately 60% of the energy consumption at the location.

Projects and development

In 2020, we completed a project on the green transition and the circular economy in cooperation with the EU and the Danish Business Authority.

The project resulted in a roadmap for initiatives concerning materials, production and resource use, which continues to inform our work.
