Industrial thread maker Coats is partnering with Annabelle Hope, a start-up sustainable clothing manufacturer based in Cambodia, as part of its commitment to developing sustainable products and processes. Annabelle Hope produces ladies' and childrenswear in which all the components meet strict sustainability standards. These include Coats threads, Epic Ecoverde and Gramax EcoVerde, which are made from 100% recycled polyester thread. In addition, care labels are made from recycled plastic bottles and the company has a zero waste policy and uses its offcuts of leftover fabric to make patchwork quilts for charity. The quilts are sewn in 'Charity Time' which can be during breaks or downtime.
