Eco-responsibility
From local production to bike delivery, our mission is to improve every aspect of our business to reduce our environmental footprint. And that's just the beginning!
The fabrics
Taking care of our ecological footprint is just as important as our mission to give back to the community.
At Edge, we combine style, innovation, and environmental responsibility by prioritizing eco-friendly fabrics. Our designs incorporate materials like Econyl®, a regenerated nylon fiber made from abandoned fishing nets recovered from the oceans, and Tencel™, a soft and comfortable eco-friendly fiber made from wood pulp processed with a non-toxic solvent.
These choices reflect our commitment to reducing our ecological footprint while supporting environmentally friendly processes.

The Econyl
This little phrase written on the label of our clothing is the result of countless hours of research in order to create using the best possible product!
Econyl® is a nylon fiber sourced from the ocean floor. Thanks to volunteer divers, fishing nets lost at the bottom of the sea are recovered, washed, and then transported to the Aquafill factory. It is there, in Slovenia, that the fiber will be regenerated and woven, then sent to our offices in Quebec!
Tencel
We also use TencelTM, a fabric that brings softness and comfort to our pieces.
TencelTM, also known as Lyocell, is an environmentally friendly material produced from wood pulp and a non-toxic solvent.
How is Tencel® made? First, there are trees: eucalyptus, hardwoods, or bamboo. From these, cellulose (a sugar naturally present in wood) is extracted and dissolved in a non-toxic solvent. This solvent is non-toxic and is 97.7% recovered.
Lyocell therefore has a low environmental impact, because it is produced in a quasi-closed loop circuit where materials are constantly recycled, purified and reused.
Seeded labels
Mindful of the impact of every detail, we have chosen plantable labels!
Slipped onto your clothes, they contain wildflower seeds ready to brighten up your daily life.
Plant them and share photos of your little Edge sprouts with us!
Delivery bags
Eliminate plastic? Absolutely, whenever possible! Our bags, made from corn starch, are completely biodegradable and naturally decompose into compost in just a few weeks. An eco-friendly solution that combines practicality and respect for the environment.
Bicycle delivery
Nothing is more eco-friendly than a bike delivery!
We are proud to collaborate with the dynamic Chasseurs Courrier team to ensure the delivery of your parcels by bicycle on the island of Montreal.
A circular fashion
Our fabric scraps are collected by our workshop to be reused in creative projects, used as stuffing for cushions, or even transformed into solidarity initiatives.
Throughout our production and future collections, we are committed to identifying new improvements to move toward circular fashion. And of course, we will share our progress with you!
Local production
All Edge parts are designed and engineered in Quebec!
We are committed to supporting the local economy and reducing our carbon footprint by maintaining production as close to home as possible.
No shipping. No flying. Fair wages.
