A RENU AIRFLAKE DOWN jacket in the RE: DESCENTE BIRTH series. Because of our strong focus on eco-production, we are now using RENU AIRFLAKE insulation made from the recycled polyester material RENU, which is derived from cutting waste and fabric residue generated in the production process and used clothing. It has loft and heat retention equivalent to 730 fill power down. The outer fabric has a natural appearance with a wrinkled surface and an effective water repellent finish, and with seven pockets, it has excellent storage capacity.

RE: DESCENTE BIRTH
The aim of the RE: DESCENTE BIRTH series is to bring about a recycling-oriented economy by re-creating apparel products from apparel products, utilising RENU materials – fabric cuttings and remnants/scraps generated in the manufacturing process – and used clothing as the basic raw materials. So a vital part of our "from clothes to clothes" activity is working to collect used garments.
Product collection boxes are installed at each Descente brand store. In order to recycle collected products as raw materials and convert them smoothly to renewable energy*, we can only accept Descente brand products.
*It is necessary to know the composition of the garment fabric (the percentage of the fibers that make up clothes, such as polyester, nylon, and cotton).
RENU contributes to bringing about a circular economy by effectively converting waste fabric from garment manufacturers and recycled clothing into remade polyester, which can then be made into new garments. With this process, there are fewer non-renewable resources in the supply chain and a significant reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels, such as oil and water, energy and CO₂ emissions. At a partner factory in China, around 30,000 tons of discarded garments are collected and recycled to create the polyester yarn from which the new clothing will be made.
In Japan, we participate in the JEPLAN (Japan Environment Planning) "BRING ™" project to collect and recycle used clothing. We collect used Descente products at our own stores and convert them into recycled polyester raw materials using our unique chemical recycling technology. Materials other than polyester are also recycled appropriately.
