Textile Research & Testing for a Sustainable Future

We research, test, and validate materials to reduce environmental impact, improve durability, and ensure long-term quality in every garment we produce.

Your Sustainable Future

From fiber composition to wear resistance, every textile is evaluated before it becomes part of a Mintimonks product.

Why Textile Testing Exists

Sustainable Fashion

It starts long before production. Material choices influence durability, comfort, environmental impact, and product lifespan.

Our textile research focuses on

  • Reducing material waste and premature garment failure
  • Identifying fibers with lower environmental impact
  • Ensuring fabrics meet functional and aesthetic requirements
  • Validating long-term wear, not short-term trends

Testing

Testing materials before production allows us to make informed decisions based on data — not assumptions.

This approach reduces mistakes, improves consistency, and supports responsible manufacturing.

What We Test in Our Textiles

Fiber Composition & Origin

Natural, recycled, and blended fibers

Traceability and sourcing transparency

Fiber consistency across batches

Color Fastness & Stability

Wash resistance, fading behavior, and long-term color stability.

Durability & Wear Resistance

Abrasion resistance

Pilling behavior

Shape retention after repeated wear

Environmental Impact Factors

Fiber renewability

Expected product lifespan

End-of-life considerations

Comfort & Performance

Breathability

Softness and skin compatibility

Thermal and moisture behavior

Sustainability Through Evidence, Not Claims

Sustainability Without Greenwashing

Instead, our material decisions are based on:

Measurable durability and lifespan

Reduced replacement frequency

Responsible sourcing considerations

Fabric behavior over time

How We Research Materials

Our Textile Research Process

textil identification

Material Identification

We evaluate potential textiles based on sustainability criteria, performance requirements, and availability consistency.

Sample Testing

Fabric samples undergo controlled testing for durability, color stability, comfort, and behavior under real-world conditions.

textiles are compared against benchmarks and previous fabrics to identify improvements or risks.

Comparative Evaluation

Materials are compared against benchmarks and previous fabrics to identify improvements or risks.

Only textiles that meet quality, sustainability, and consistency standards are approved for production.

Production Suitability Review

Only textiles that meet quality, sustainability, and consistency standards are approved for production.

This is not experimentation on finished products — testing happens before production decisions are made.

Testing happens before production decisions are made.

FAQs

Yes. Materials are evaluated before being approved for use in production runs.

Where applicable, we consider certifications, but decisions are based on performance, durability, and responsible sourcing — not labels alone.

Testing helps reduce defects, waste, and returns — often lowering long-term costs while improving quality
