Marie fil is a project from the heart that is led by our deepest values. It is very important for us to put into practice these values. As an eco-responsible company, our team wishes to encourage the recovery of materials, reuse and a zero waste lifestyle, creating a circular economy that represents the future of commerce.

We have set ambitious goals for the reduction of our internal waste, but we also want to help our customers to take a step closer to a zero waste lifestyle. A green and healthy transition for a healthier planet!

Reuse. Recovery. Zero waste.

Reduction of textile waste in Quebec

Since 2022, Marie fil has recovered every small piece of fabric from the cutting of our textile products. This may look small but it's in fact kilos of fabrics recovered every year!

First recycling project: Eco-responsible underpants

This idea allowed the creation of women's underwear, cut one by one and assembled with care by Andréanne, seamstress at Marie Fil since 2021. This project is our first recovery baby. Making women's underwear in Quebec from recovered fabrics takes even longer than making menstrual underwear.

This time is worth gold for the environment, even if it is not the most lucrative. We do it out of love... For you!

Waste reduction, donations and recovery in Quebec

Donation of disposable sanitary napkins

Since 2021, Marie fil has collected donations of new disposable sanitary napkins . In store, in Limoilou, it is possible to leave your towels unused. Our eco-responsible company then redistributes the donations to non-profit women's organizations in Quebec City.

Recovery of used jeans pants

Since 2022, Marie Fil has been collecting used jeans to give them a second life. We have been reusing them to make eco-responsible placemats . We then most of what we recived to Délycastef, a company located in Quebec. Jeans are her raw material in her eco-responsible creations. Collaboration between eco-responsible companies is essential.

Recovery of rigid plastic cards (loyalty card) to create guitar picks

How many plastic cards do you have in your wallet? Marie fil collects rigid plastic cards to transform them into guitar picks. Most of the time, the cards end up in the trash. Unfortunately these end up in landfill sites, incinerated, lost in nature or in waterways.

Want to be part of the change? Come meet us at our Quebec City store (Limoilou) and bring your jeans, disposable sanitary napkins or even your plastic cards.

End your visit by making an eco-responsible purchase... It is always possible to change your habits!
