Our sustainable commitments

Since the beginning of Tensira in 2009, the sustainability has been our core value. All our fabrics are 100% cotton and our indigo dyes are only vegetable.

In an eco-responsible perspective, we chose solar energy to meet the energy needs of our workshops.
We installed solar panels, a green and sustainable energy that has powered our workshops in Guinea since the creation of Tensira.

Being owned by Tensira, the workshops can put an emphasis on upcycling of offcuts and scrap fabrics to optimize the manufacturing process and remain as sustainable as possible. 
Tensira has a zero waste perspective .
