Materials rediscovered through continuation go through an average of 455 days of design development and test research to ensure robust and long-lasting use even after reinventing them into new products. By upcycling materials, we present the future of eco-friendly fashion through the transparency of the process, not an eco-friendly company.
CCONTINEW completed a hybrid water regeneration system that receives rainwater, cleans it, filters discarded water, and uses it as washing water after a year and two months of development, and generates 100% of electrical energy through solar power generation that maximizes energy efficiency.
This is the sincerity and professionalism that CONTINEW's present for the environment and society.
Every year, B Lab recognizes the B Corps that have achieved the highest verified scores in the five impact areas evaluated on the B Impact Assessment.
October 2020. CONTINEW's Ecological Plant 021 was completed after 18 months of research and construction. It obtains electrical energy by itself through sunlight and presents the sustainable potential of fashion companies through hybrid water regeneration systems.

Car Seat LeatherAll leather products in CONTINEW are made from natural cowhide materials obtained from cars. Car seat leather is a high-quality natural cowhide that is resistant to friction, humidity, and temperature.
Air Bag NylonCONTINEW uses nylon material obtained from airbags on car handles. Minimize air, water quality, and soil pollution caused by the production of nylon, a synthetic material.
Repurposed MaterialCONTINEW makes the material that completes the original purpose into a product with a different purpose. It leads the natural cycle by recycling marine waste nets and plastic bottles in the Jeju sea.
CONTINEW 021 Factory
CONTINEW Solar Roof
Cuckoo windows and windows were created in existing factories that did not have windows to increase natural lighting, increasing energy efficiency to always-bright factories, and increasing energy efficiency by reinforcing weak insulation in old factories. The asbestos roof of the carcinogen was removed to make it an environmental roof that collects solar energy.
CONTINEW Water Regeneration System
We've improved all the water pipes to collect and clean the rainwater, and we've completed the ecological factory in Continew. This factory is operated as an open ecological factory for anyone to visit at any time. We want to share the value philosophy of persistence with many people.
The House of continew Paju is the flagship store of CONTINEW, where you can meet all of CONTINEW's products. Enjoy a cup of tea at a cafe famous for brunch in Paju and observe the manufacturing process of CONTINEW products.
Water - essential resources for upcycling.
We collect rainwater and use it as water necessary for the upcycling process, and wastewater that is discarded after washing is filtered and used again as washing water. The water footprint reaches ‘0’ through this means. When we make a bag, we save an average of 560 liters of water compared to a conventional leather bag. But we still have a lot to do. We don’t think we’re perfect. So, our continuous efforts continue.
Detergent - washing with eco-friendly detergent
Chemical detergents are never used for washing upcycling materials. We self-developed eco-friendly detergent made mainly of coconut oil and baking soda. This reduces water pollution and provides better products to consumers.
Animal-natural leather bag without using natural leather
Leather seats, a representative material that cannot be recycled when automobiles are produced or scrapped. We have just turned the discarded material back into use. We made it useful without killing animals indiscriminately to get new hides. 0% leather exhausted, but 100% real leather.
Waste
Through our hands, uselessness turns into uselessness. We collect leather seat covers, airbags, and seat belts, which are non-recyclable automobile waste that could only be landfilled, and use them as main materials for our products. The more we make bags, the more our environmental value effect increases. It delivers simple and powerful environmental effects. Everything in the world is worth it.
Electricity
We are self-supplying electric energy through solar energy. In 2020, our plant achieved 100% renewable energy usage, and by 2021, we plan to produce 150% of the electric energy used in our plant. We take one step closer to realizing the goal of zero carbon footprint.
