Introducing our eco-friendly, natural laundry detergent. Fighting against overproduction and fast fashion has been a cornerstone of our DNA since the creation of LePantalon. This means thinking about pants and materials that last, and testing their durability so they last a long time and don't need replacing too often. So we decided to go even further, to go beyond our products. Eco-friendly, natural laundry detergent has more than one trick up its sleeve.
An observation
Traditional laundry detergents are polluting. It's as simple as that, and yet some major retail brands are making efforts, but there's still a long way to go. We don't even need to look at their composition to see it: plastic packaging. It's difficult for many of them to talk about recycling, let alone composting.
Indeed, there's also the composition, and here you have to hang on, the list is long. Detergents, enzymes, preservatives, synthetic perfumes, optical brighteners, bleaching agents, dyes, sequestering and complexing agents, and we'll skip the others. A complicated digestion for plants, animals, for us, and for the ecosystem as a whole.
The numbers that make your head spin*
7.3 billion washes are done each year in France
20 million per day
5 washes per week per household
Maintenance is important to us
Because optimizing the lifespan of your pants means adopting the right actions from the start. Not all pants have the same washing needs and it is important to minimize them in any case. There are washes that you can't sit on, and those that you can very easily avoid , for the planet and for the good of the product.
To preserve its color and resistance, it is important to scrupulously follow the instructions on the labels and it is obvious that using natural products will only be beneficial.
