Sepiia

Promotion of integrated water management and conservation strategies: The company applies production techniques that enable it to reduce the water needed in their products compared to standard practices. One of those practices is the digital sublimation printing, which requires zero water consumption when adding color or printing designs onto garments. On the other hand, the products’ functional characteristics (wrinkle free, liquid repellent and anti-odor) mean that the shirts don’t need to be washed as much as traditional cotton alternatives.

Promotion of the creation of jobs: One of the two purposes of this financing is to open an outlet store. With this expansion Sepiia will hire 7 workers with contracts of up to 12 months and extendable if the store is successful.

Promotion in the sustainable and efficient use of raw materials: Sepiia works with suppliers that hold internationally recognized sustainability and safety certifications, ensuring responsible sourcing throughout the production process. Both the yarn and fabric suppliers are certified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), verifying the use of recycled materials and compliance with environmental and social criteria. Their suppliers also hold OEKO-TEX certifications, which guarantee that materials are safe for human health and the environment. In addition, the stain-resistant treatment used in the shirts is OEKO-TEX certified and meets the stringent requirements of the Bluesign standard. These certifications demonstrate a commitment to sustainable materials, safe chemical management, and ethical manufacturing practices across the supply chain.

Reduce waste generation and improve waste management: Sepiia addresses a key environmental issue in the textile industry: fiber blends that enhance fabric performance but prevent effective recycling. To mitigate this, the company minimizes blends and instead relies on technological fabric finishes, selecting polyester as its main monomaterial due to its durability, comfort, and high recyclability. Since 2021, Sepiia has used 100% recycled polyester, supporting circular production models.This material can be efficiently recycled through mechanical-thermal processes in national facilities, including in collaboration with the company ANTEX, helping to close the material loop.

Sepiia 2080 S.L. is a Spanish tech‑fashion company founded in 2016.
