Pierre de Chanville, co-founder of TEKYN.

Make fashion more sustainable while remaining profitable. Created in 2017 by Pierre de Chanville and Donatien Mourmant, TEKYN has developed a digital platform to streamline and modernize the textile production chain. The key for the brands: production adjusted to demand, more economical and more ecological. " A third of clothing production ends up in the trash without being worn. It seems absolutely incongruous that in this day and age, we can still produce so much waste from new products with a very high environmental footprint. We are talking about materials that are either derived from petroleum derivatives or grown in extremely water-intensive environments. », Emphasizes Pierre de Chanville. TEKYN therefore allows brands to begin their transition to a sustainable and responsible production.
