The Motif
Inspiration came from the student dining hall of the Beuth Hochschule in Wedding.
Photos and explanations surrounding the motif can be found at
Mensa.

Ecological and ethical orientation
EarthPositive ® Hoodies are a 100% ecological product that meet the global Organic Textile Standard. They are also certified by the Control Union. The hoodies are entirely produced through renewable energies such as wind and solar power. EarthPositive ® works on the principle of “No transport by air” and therefore contributes to the reduction of CO2 emission caused by air freight. The carbon label shows the exact CO2 emission value that is emitted during the production process.
The hoodie meets the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class 1. This standard guarantees that textiles and dyes do not harm health or the environment, and that a water treatment obligation is in place to protect local waters.
The Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) promotes fair working conditions in the textile industry worldwide.
The printing plant obtains its dyes from the company Sericol Ltd., which carries the certificate of the quality management system ISO 9000. In comparison to conventional inks, these plastisol inks are environmentally friendly and not damaging to health. In 1993 Sericol was awarded the enironmental prize of the British Queen.
