Ecoalf Apparel and Accessories

Ecoalf is a pioneering sustainable fashion brand founded in Spain by Javier Goyeneche in 2009. The brand's core mission is to create lifestyle products made entirely from recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, discarded fishing nets, and coffee grounds, to minimize the depletion of natural resources. Their slogan, 'Because there is no planet B,' has become a central theme in the global sustainable fashion movement.

While the brand originated in Madrid, its manufacturing is distributed internationally. Ecoalf works with a variety of specialized factories globally that can handle high-tech recycling processes. They produce items in countries including Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Thailand. In Japan, the brand operates through a significant partnership and joint venture with Sanyo Shokai Ltd., which helps tailor the brand's sustainable mission to the Asian market.

Ownership of Ecoalf reflects its growth from an independent startup to a global player. While the founder remains a key figure, the brand received substantial investment from the Luxembourg-based investment firm Manor Group to help scale its circular economy model worldwide. The brand is a certified B Corp, emphasizing its commitment to social and environmental transparency.
